Farmersville Texas Post Office Mural by Jerry Bywaters. (original) (raw)

Bywaters' painting "Soil Conservation in Collin County" was a subtle nudge to Texas farmers to adopt contour plowing - a preventitive for one of the major contributors to the "Dust Bowl."

The rural population of Texas was a majority when this painting was made - and by today's standards it could be considered a very artistic "Public Service Announcement."
