ANGELINA ORCHARD COMPANY wrapper title

1902WRCAM56268Boston: Poole Printing Co. 1902. 16pp. plus two promotional pieces laid in one a folded broadside the other 4pp. on a folded sheet. Original light green printed wrappers. Light wear. Near fine. An unrecorded promotional pamphlet and related ephemera touting the advantages of investing in the ill-fated Angelina Orchard Company near Lufkin in Angelina County Texas. Around 1900 the group of Boston investors who printed this pamphlet established the town of Manton in East Texas which was designed to support their commercial fruit farm on the Texas and New Orleans Railroad. The present pamphlet sets forth the details of the available land for purchase highlights the advantages of growing fruit in East Texas prints testimonials from others in support of the area and enumerates the legal protections for landowners in Texas. The inside rear wrapper is printed with a list of mean temperatures for the area from 1901. Laid into the pamphlet is a sample contract and a separate promotional detailing real estate and insurance offerings from the company. "The Angelina Orchard Company incorporated around 1901 with a capital stock of $130000.bought 12500 acres of cutover timberland near the site of what is now Southland Paper Mills for growing and processing fruit. The idea of raising fruit as an economic venture in Angelina County may have been fostered by the Lufkin TRIBUNE and the Houston POST which published articles early in the century advertising East Texas as a good peach-growing area. The author of these articles an industrial agent for several railroad lines had reportedly also sent out thousands of folders promoting this idea. About 1902 the Angelina Orchard Company planted 500 of its 12500 acres in peach trees 350 in pear and 150 in plum. The company planned to plant 500 more acres a year until the entire tract was under cultivation. The farm was envisioned as a community and business center. The company built tenant houses for orchard employees a commissary a school and a church. Also planned were a canning factory a sawmill more tenant houses and a spur railroad. The plans were short-lived however. Manager Fred Brunsterman was shot during an argument in a Lufkin bank vault. The company then employed two different managers but profits never met the original expectations. The last manager attempted to make money by raising cotton potatoes and cantaloupes with no more success than the peaches had brought cotton was then selling for twenty- five to fifty dollars a bale. The Manton orchard failed. The stockholders sold the land and what timber was left" - HANDBOOK OF TEXAS. No copies in OCLC or auction history. Megan Biesele "Manton Tx." in HANDBOOK OF TEXAS online.

Federal Agricultural Policy Archive of 17 USDA Farmers' Bulletins on Agriculture Seed Storage and Production Farming Progressive Era to Dust Bowl Period 1898-1949

1898232571898. Federal Agricultural PolicyEnvironmental ManagementUSDA Archive of 17 United States Department of Agriculture Farmers' Bulletins and federal publications issued between 1898 and 1949 documenting the federal government's expanding role in agricultural science land management and homesteading during the Progressive Era and the decades surrounding the Dust Bowl. These bulletins document the federal government's expanding role in agricultural production and were a crucial part of the print system through which the United State Department of Agriculture translated experiment-station research into practical directions for farmers and rural households. Several carry the red distribution stamp "Sent by Harry R. Sheppard Member of Congress" preserving the congressional channels through which USDA advice circulated alongside the wider extension network. The bulletins were handed out free of charge through congressional offices agricultural colleges and rural postal networks reaching millions of farm households and implementing federal agricultural policy at the local level. The publications represented here emerged from the legislature introduced by the Morrill Acts the Hatch Act and the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 which created the federal system linking agricultural research land-grant universities and cooperative extension services. The earliest publications in this archive address plant disease and propagation showing the USDA's early emphasis on scientific control of crop failure and the standardization of cultivation practices. By the interwar and wartime decades the scope of instruction had widened to include vegetable production seed storage sweet potato preservation cabbage disease fern eradication from pasture lands brush and stump clearing and the control of Johnson grass alongside household and regional titles such as The Home Fruit Garden in the Pacific Coast States and Arizona and Production of Maple Syrup and Sugar. These pamphlets show the department addressing both market agriculture and domestic food production moving between specialized technical subjects such as seed treatment and broader guidance on gardens storage and rural land use. Archive of 17 titles including: • The Grain Smuts: How They Are Caused and How to Prevent Them 1898 • The Propagation of Plants 1902 reprinted 1924 • Prevent Storage Rots of Sweet Potatoes 1934 • Eradication of Ferns from Pasture Lands in the Eastern United States 1915 revised 1936 • Production of Maple Sirup and Sugar 1924 revised 1937 • Production of Spinach 1938 • Culture and Uses of Okra 1905 revised 1928 1940 • Clearing Land of Brush and Stumps 1927 revised 1929 1941 • The Home Fruit Garden in the Pacific Coast States and Arizona 1942 • Vegetable Seed Treatments 1940 revised 1942 • Mixing Fertilizers on the Farm 1949 Additional publications address crop storage weed control fertilizer preparation and home food production showing how USDA printing linked plant pathology environmental management and household economy within a single federal instructional program across the first half of the twentieth century. Seventeen pamphlets and booklets printed in staple-bound or pamphlet format many with illustrated wrappers. Paper toned with scattered edge wear creasing rubbing and light soiling; earlier bulletins show heavier age and use and several mid-century pamphlets retain congressional distribution stamps. Overall good condition. A solid working archive of USDA extension printing that traces the federal government's practical involvement in American farming horticulture and home economics from 1898 to 1949. unknown
