Dillon S. Myer was an agriculturist and government official who worked with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and Soil Conservation Service during the New Deal era. Raised on a farm in central Ohio in the 1890s, he graduated from the College of Agriculture at Ohio State University in 1914 and secured a job as a research assistant and agronomy instructor at the University of Kentucky. Following several years as a county agricultural agent in different regions, he served as an Ohio-based district supervisor of the Agricultural Extension Service from 1922 to 1933, at which point he joined the Soil Conservation Service. His work with the federal government continued beyond the New Deal era, leading him to the War Relocation Authority in 1942, where he oversaw the internment of Japanese Americans and orchestrated a program to allow the release of Nissei citizens; the Federal Public Housing Authority; the Institute of Inter-American Affairs; and what was then known as the Bureau of Indian Affairs, where he advocated for tribal termination. In this donated, self-recorded memoir, Myer discusses his childhood and early farm work experiences, legal issues with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, World War II and internment, and his extensive work in various government departments.
