The collection, in one oversize box and one folder in a second oversize box, is comprised of material relating to Henry L. Gantz and his career with Farm and Ranch from the time he was field editor in 1928 up to his position as associate editor in 1947. The bulk of the collection consists of Farm and Ranch articles written by Gantz. Two scrapbooks document his work at the magazine in 1928 and during the period 1947 to 1953. The later scrapbook is only partially complete and contained many loose clippings. It was disbound and photocopies were made of newspaper articles. The photocopies were divided into the following categories: articles about Gantz, articles by Gantz and miscellaneous articles. The articles by Gantz are from Farm and Ranch and discuss a variety of topics such as agriculture, financial issues in the farming industry, farm animals, machinery, problems with cultivation, and crop growing. Materials have been arranged chronologically within their folders. Other materials found in this scrapbook include correspondence to Gantz and others commenting on articles he wrote or speeches he delivered; keepsakes such as a Lions Club meeting program; mats with images of Gantz used for printing; flyer for union meeting in Oklahoma where Gantz was speaker; Farm and Ranch magazine cover from 1949, and employee newsletters. The speeches were given at two functions, 1948-1951. There is also a photostat copy of the first issue of Texas Farm and Ranch, 1883.
