Natural State (Arkansas) (1975)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Natural State"--a nickname of Arkansas--is not in the revised OED.  There are 37,200 Google hits for "Natural State" and "Arkansas."
   "Wonder State" was the official Arkansas nickname from 1923, deriving from the state's "natural wonders."  It's little wonder that a change was made.
   I ran across this while looking for some digital materials for Arkansas...Just wondering: Does this mean that everything that comes out of Arkansas is natural?
