Photograph of showing the average growth of the 20 year old ten acre Concord Grape vineyard. The chorty soil was terraced before grapes were set. Soil building crop of vetch, yellow hop clover, lespedeza, and rye grass is maintained at all times except for short period during the final growth and ripening of the fruit. Phospate is applied under the legumes. A regular spray schedule has been maintained. There has never been a failure to produce a fair crop and they have produced 3000 bushels several times.

Photograph of Houston Hicks, combining native grass from the Alva Tims farm. Rotation grazing and conservation ranching had permitted this grass to make an excellent seed crop in 1955. 58 pounds of good seed per acre, principally little bluestem and Indiangrass were harvested.

Photograph of an UNIDIENTIFIED man looking at Italian Rye grass in pasture demonstration plot. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Italian rye grass in pasture demonstration plot. This grass is used as a winter pasture crop, affords excellent grazing and resists erosion. Houston clay, gray phase 2% slope."

Photograph of dallis grass, a valuable native pasture grass in the area that comes back when organic matter and plant food is returned to the soil and sufficient protection from grazing is given. TX-45, 657.

Photograph of soil condition. This field has been in Hubam clover for four years. The Hubam was grown for seed and all residues turned back to the soil during this period. This soil is in very excellent condition. It is Houston clay loam. Dick Marshall and Rob Elder are inspecting the sample. TX-308-10.

Photograph of representative erosion damage in this section from a heavy rain, approximate a 1 inch accumulation on May 9, 1947. Silting and washing in this 35 acre cornfield have destroyed conservatively 12 to 18 percent of the corn and cotton crop. Corn and cotton was cultivated up and down rows and dozens of small washes 3 to 25 feet wide have covered the young plants completely with silt. Erosion control methods, properly established, would have reduced the damage to less than 1%. Class II land in foreground; Class III in the background. Soil is a Houston blank clay; slope 2% to 4%; erosion 11 and 111. TX-43, 659.
