Garden myth• Western boosters popularized the myth of the
Garden to encourage settlement during the second half of the nineteenth century.
• Charles Dana Wilber was one of the leading advocates of this myth He based this claim on "scientific" evidence that purportedly proved that "rain follows the plow.”
• The credibility of the Garden myth was strengthened by the unusually high levels of rainfall recorded throughout the 1870s and early 1880s, which further encouraged settlement.
• Families began to leave with signs on their wagons, "In God we trusted, in Kansas we busted."

Rain Follows the Plow!Rain Follows the Plow!Rain Follows the Plow!Rain Follows the Plow!
God speed the plow.... By this wonderful provision, which is only man's mastery over nature, the clouds are dispensing copious rains ... [the plow] is the instrument which separates civilization from savagery; and converts a desert into a farm or garden.... To be more concise, Rain follows the plow. Charles Dana Wilber

• Commercial farmers specialized in cash crops, not self sufficiency– Makes them dependent on others.
• Railroads
• Banks, interest rates
– Unlike industrialists, they could not control production rates and price

Farmers Grievances
• Railroads- RR charges variable rates on goods,– farmers paid more.– Certain regions paid more– Also controlled storage areas at terminals and charged
high rates
• Banks– High interest, not enough money to pay off debt-
foarmers supported more money- inflation– Prices- Too little for their crop, too much for things
they bought.
