Abstract:

The traditions of the modern South began in the fields of cotton and tobacco. The backbone of industry in the state traces back to literate and articulate farm boys such as Colonel L.L. Polk and Benjamin Kilgore. Changes have taken place over decades, and none mirror the change better than the magazine, The Progressive Farmer, started by Colonel Polk in 1886.
