Eugene Butler was born on June 11, 1894 in
Starkville, Mississippi. His father,
Dr. Tait Butler, was co-supervisor of
Progressive Farmer magazine and a
professor of veterinary medicine at Mississippi A&M (now
Mississippi State). Butler enrolled in Mississippi A&M in 1909 and
received his first bachelors degree in 1913 at the age of nineteen. He then
worked as a farm laborer for four years to gain experience while simultaneously
pursuing additional degrees. He received a second bachelors degree in
Agriculture from Cornell University in 1915. From Cornell he went to Iowa State
University where he received a masters degree in Agronomy in 1917. His
education completed, Butler returned home to work with his father and soon
became involved with the
Progressive Farmer as an assistant
editor in
Memphis, Tennessee.
After his initial position as assistant editor, Butler rapidly climbed
the
Progressive Farmer administrative
ladder. In 1922 he became editor of the Texas edition of
Progressive Farmer and manager of the
Dallas office. He remained in
Dallas and became a member of the executive
committee in 1939, vice-president of the board of directors in 1943, and
president of the company in 1953. Six years later he was named chairman of the
editorial board and editor-in-chief.
Butler served as president of the
Progressive Farmer Company until 1968, after which
the company's name was changed to
Southern Progress Corporation. However, he
retained his titles of chairman of the board and editor-in-chief. In 1983
Southern Progress Corporation was purchased by
Time Inc. Since his retirement as editor-in-chief,
Butler has remained active in the
Progressive Farmer Company by continuing to
research and write the history of the company.
Following in his father's footsteps, Butler achieved many goals for
the
Progressive Farmer Company during his more than
half a century as editor. Among these achievements were two new additions to
the company:
Southern Living and the
Oxmoor Press of
Birmingham, Alabama.
Butler did not restrict himself to working on the magazine, however.
His interests lay in almost any area relating to agriculture. Some of his more
significant involvements were in crusades for better rural life, farm
legislation, and farm practices. Throughout his career, Butler gave numerous
speeches, wrote hundreds of articles and editorials, and collected extensive
information on contemporary agricultural issues ranging from rural health to
better methods of cotton fertilization. In the fifty years of his activity,
Butler worked for and witnessed remarkable progress in many of these areas.
He was a charter member of the
Texas Agricultural Workers Association, a charter
member and historian of the
Dallas Agricultural Club, and a researcher and
activist for cotton insect control.
In recognition of his contributions, both to the
Progressive Farmer and other causes,
Butler received several awards. Among them were the Hoblitzelle Award in 1953
and an award for "Outstanding Contribution to Welfare
of all Texas Agriculture through Accurate and Effective Presentation of
Information and Constructive Leadership" given by the
Texas Cottonseed Cruchers Association.
Always very active and involved, Butler has enjoyed reading,
gardening, collecting books on the Confederacy, golfing and fishing all his
life.
Butler married
Mary Britt Burns in 1921. They had one son,
Eugene Britt, and one daughter,
Mary Jean. The son followed in his father's
footsteps in working for the
Progressive Farmer Company.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Eugene Butler Papers consist of ten boxes, fourteen oversize items
and one bound volume of selected editorials by Butler. They occupy twelve
linear feet of shelf space. Included in the papers are speeches, editorials,
and articles written by
Eugene Butler, dating from the 1920s to 1980s.
These documents deal with a broad spectrum of issues of the day from
Prohibition to bussing but focus primarily on agricultural topics. The papers
date from 1924 through 1987.
Also contained in the collection are many
Progressive Farmer articles and
editorials, as well as correspondence. There are three complete issues of the
magazine in the collection; one oversize and two in folders.
Other items in the collection include extensive material on the
Progressive Farmer Company, cotton, and the
Progressive Farmer Master Farm Family
Award and individual winners.
The Butler Papers were originally filed by topic. That organization
has been retained. For this reason, correspondence, speeches, and articles by
Butler are found throughout the collection rather than all in individual
sections as is sometimes done. The topics Butler assigned in his original
arrangement have been retained and are arranged alphabetically. Various types
of record within each topic have been kept in separate folders and filed
chronologically.
A collection of publications of the
Newcomen Society, which came with the papers, were
transferred to the Evans Library.
It is anticipated that Mr. Butler will give additional papers to the
Texas A&M University Archives. These will be retained as a separate
part of Mr. Butler's papers.
