Post Office Mural - Farmersville TX The Farmersville post office houses an example of New Deal artwork: a Section of Fine Arts mural painted in 1941 by Jerry Bywaters.
"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."" (https://www.texasescapes.com)
