World's First Home • Demonstration Agent Posses At Columbia Clemson, May 28.—The death of Mrs. Dora Dee "Mother’’ Walker, 93, of Appleton, Allendale county, at a Columbia hospital early Friday morning, May 25, ended the career of a widely known and greatly be loved pioneer extension worker who had the distinction of being the first county home demonstration agent in the world. To foster girls’ tomato club work, first started by Mrs. C. H. Seigler in Aiken county in 1910, Mrs. Walker was appointed county club agent for Barnwell county in 1911 and thus be came the first to hold the position now known as home demonstration agent. In 1915 she organized the first home demonstration club for farm women in the Bethel community of Sumter county. She lived to see the work thus started spread to most of the civilized countries of the world. In 1914 she became assistant state home demonstration agent and in 1922 food production and conserva tion specialist for the Winthrop col lege Home Demonstration Work. In the latter capacity she visited many homes throughout the state and as sisted in planning many home gar dens and in the beautification of the grounds and surroundings of homes, schools, churches, public parks, and community centers. She was also much 1 'In demand for work in can ning, drying, and other phases of food conservation. The life and work of “Mother” Walker were recognized throughout the nation, and in 1937 she was awarded a certificate by the Epsilon Sigma Phi, national honorary exten sion fraternity, for distinguished ser vice, and in 1943 was awarded a medal by the Southern agricultural workers in recognition of her faith ful ervice and for her contributions as an ardent gardener. At her home in Appleton she car ried on experimental work with flowers and shrubs and in her exper imental plots she had specimens of plants sent her from all sections of the United States and from 22 for eign countries. She retired from the extension service in 1946. Funeral services were conducted at Mt.
