Birth of an Idea Drives Henderson Club to Farm Improvement
Henderson Kentucky businessmen, disappointed by slow factory growth, form a crop improvement association with a $1 dues base. The group hires a farm expert, seeks farmer control, and wins $2,000 from the Chicago Board of Trade plus $50 monthly from the Department of Agriculture for soil and dairy testing and demonstrations. The plan aims to boost wealth from soil, not factories, with Ada Commercial Club backing better county farming as its first priority.
