Page "Tallulah, Louisiana" Paragraph 12

Tallulah is thought to be the place where Delta Air Lines got its early beginnings.

An agricultural experiment station first used airplanes to spray pesticides to control cotton pests.

Built in the late 1920s by Standard Oil Company, the building housed a U. S Experimental Station in the early 1920s that began flying mail for the US Post Office.

It soon started a flying service which evolved into Delta Air Lines.
