z This gnventory of Fedggal_g;ghives in the_§tates is one of the
j products of the work of the Survey of Federal Archives, which
A operated as a nation~wide project of the Works Progress Adminis-
tration from January 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, and has been con-
tinued in Virginia since that date as a state project of that Ad-
ministration and of the Work Projects Administration of the Federal
Works Agency.
The plan for the organization of the Inventory is as follows:
Series I consists of reports on the administration of the Survey,
acknowledgments, and general discussions of the location, condition,
and content of federal archives in the states. Succeeding series
contain the detailed information secured by workers of the Survey,
in inventory form, a separate series number being assigned to each
of the executive departments (except the Department of State) and
other major units of the Federal Government. Within each series No. 1
is a general introduction to the field organization and records of
the governmental agency concerned; the succeeding numbers contain the
inventory proper, separate numbers being assigned to each state in
alphabetical order. Thus, in each series, the inventory for Alabama
is No. 2, that for Arizona No. 3, that for Arkansas No. 4, etc.
For each local office information regarding each series, or unit
V of related records, is presented in the following order: title, in-
t clusive dates ("to date" indicating an open file at the time the
g information was secured), general description of informational content,
, description of the system of filing or indexing (if any), a statement
“ of frequency and purpose of use, form of the record itself (bound
t volumes, sheets in folders, etc.), linear footage, description of the
containers, physical condition of the records (not stated if satis-
· factory), location by room number or other identifying information,
v and finally the number of the Form SBSA on which this information
was originally recorded by a Survey worker and from which it was
abstracted for the Inventory. This form is on file in the National
Archives,
In Virginia the work of the project was under the supervision of
Mr. Terry C. Durham from its inception until September 1936. He was
" then succeeded by Dr. Kathleen Bruce under whose direction the project
was reorganized and a new survey begun. Dr. Bruce has continued in ,
charge of Federal Archives work, although in January 1940 the Survey of
Federal Archives was consolidated with the Historical Records Survey
with Dr. Bruce as supervisor of the combined project. This inventory
of the records of the Department of Agriculture in Virginia was pre-
pared in the Richmond office of the Survey and with the exception of
the introduction to each major subdivision and the brief history of
each local agency was edited before the final typing by Mr. Lewis J.
Q Darter, Jr., of the Washington office.

INTRODUCTION
Immediately after the Agricultural Adjustment Act was approved by
the President on May 12, 1955, all enployees of the Division of Co-
operative Extension in Virginia were called to help make its adminis-
tration effective. Hence the staff of the Extension Service at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute began to work out a program, the purpose
of which was to increase the income of the farmers by regulating the
supply of agricultural products to the demand, and by fostering trade
agreements among producers, processors, and distributors of agricultural
products. With the exception of rice, Virginians were growing the basic
agricultural conmodities recognized under the Agricultural Adjustment
Act and in sufficient quantities to justify adjustments in production,
The five commodities affected were cotton, wheat, tobacco, hogs, and
milk and its products. By October l, 1955, five AAA.programs were under
way in the State. As a result 5,000 cotton growers in the Virginia
. cotton counties took 10,000 acres out of production, for which they re-
} ceived $140,000 in benefit payments; 8,000 wheat growers in 42 counties
@ signed wheat reduction contracts covering 250,000 acres, for which they
if received over a half nnllion dollars; f1ue·cured tobacco growers placed
A 10,000 acres under agreement; 8,000 corn-hog contracts were signed; and
milk marketing agreements for Danville, Lynchburg, Newport News, Norfolk,
Richmond, Roanoke, and Washington were formulated. From the inauguration
of the program.in 1955 until its conclusion on January 6, 1956, a total
of 120,571 crop adjustment contracts signed by the Virginia farmers were
accepted by the AAA.· Of these contracts 56,641 were for tobacco, 22,528
were for wheat, 15,631 were for cotton, 7,665 for peanuts, and 17,906
were corn-hog contracts. The benefit payments accruing from these con-
tracts amounted to $7,855,955.45.
In January 1956 the Supreme Court declared the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Act unconstitutional on the ground that it invaded states' rights.
This decision automatically repealed the acts which had been passed in
support of the original act. The provisions of one of them, the Kerr-
Smith Tobacco Act, applied to Virginia. After this the continuance of
the work of agricultural adjustment was made possible by the passage of
the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act on February 29, 1956.
Under this act, the states administer the program while the Federal
Government serves as a coordinating agency to see that the plans pro-
1 posed are in the interest of agriculture and also of the public. This
made it necessary for the General Assembly of Virginia to pass an act
to enable the Cmmnonwealth to cooperate in carrying out the new program.
The General Assembly passed such an act on March 15, 1956.

 4 t
_ . yi,
The AAA spent a total of $6,126,155.72 on the programs in Virginia for ,$
the year l958 — 1959, allotting the State for the year a total acreage of Q
2,807,559 acres for soil—depletin; crops. The acreage for these crops was gf
distributed as follows; 59,576 acres for cotton, 546,728 acres for wheat, {
150,600 for tobacco, 154,270 for peanuts, and 51,000 for potatoes. Eighty- ;
five thousand Virpinia farmers, whose farms represented 72.5 percent of`
the cropland acreage in the State, cooperated in the 1958 program, for
` which they were paid a total of $4,262,782.44. As the plan operates in
l9e1, benefit payments are made through the AAA for soil conservation in
land-use-planning contracts. Land use planning in Virginia is directed
by a com ittee composed of the chairman of the AAA, the state coordinator
of the Soil Conservation Service, the Land Use Planning specialist of the
Bureau of Agricultural Econotucs, and the state directors of the Exten-
sion Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station at Blacksburg and the
state director of the Farm Security Administration.
The Agricultural Adjustment Administration records in Virginia were
surveyed with the records of the Division of Cooperative Extension at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg. No other AAA records were
surveyed with the exception of the records of the Lhlk Market Adminis-
trator, Dairy Section, AAA, in Richmond.
