Synopsis

Excerpt from Arthurdale Project of the Farm Security Administration

For this reason Preston County was one of the first areas to receive the attention of the new Division of subsistence Homesteads of the Department of the Interior, which was established in June 1933. The new agency was set up to provide good homes With large gardens for families who had part - time work in some industry. The gardens would enable the families to supplement their incomes with home - raised food and the new homes would help them maintain an adequate standard of living. In a few cases, the Division of subsistence Homesteads also planned to develop subsistence homesteads communities where groups of stranded workers, like the miners in Preston County, could obtain full - time employment. Three sources of income were to be provided: the development of community industries, the sale of agricultural products, and the encouragement of private industry to establish factories or assembly plants in the locality.

The idea of constructing small factories was in line with the idea of decentralization of industry urged by some leading industrialists, who felt that the concentration of all industrial development in huge Cities was unwise. One of the strongest arguments offered to support this belief was the probable elimination, through decentralization, of the unhealthy conditions under which so many city workers lived. By October 1933, the Division of Subsistence Homesteads had developed its plan for a subsistence homestead community in Preston County.
