Transcription on the back of the photograph reads: "Shown during the first meeting following their recent election by township delegates are the three Lee County farmers who will administer the cultural conservation ("AAA") program during the coming year. Under the program, payments are made and expenses are shared when farmers undertake certain approved soil conservation practices on their land. Pictured at the courthouse annex in Sanford, they are: Clarence W. Cameron, Route 2, Sanford, regular member; T. E. Cox, Route 6, Jonesboro Heights Station, who was reelected chairman; and W. I. Blakely, Route 8, Jonesboro Heights Station, vice-chairman." Image published in The Sanford Herald's December 13, 1948 issue on page one.
