New Deal Farming Plans Echo 1908 Arkansas Letters
An 1908 letter from T B Gilbert, published in the Washington Telegraph, argues for soil improvement and fertilizer use in Hempstead county Arkansas. He reports higher cotton yields on poor land, praises White Diamond fertilizer, and urges cooperation among farmers to boost productivity before boll weevil damage. The piece frames early 20th century agriculture as a precursor to later New Deal era ideas.
