Photograph of a part of Tornillo Flats, Big Bend National Park, where pitting was done last winter in strips [i.e., creating pits that can capture water and prevent runoff). Where the pits are, they caught the rain of 2.4 inches and it was absorbed. A thick cover of annuals, mostly 6-weeks grama resulted, with some seedlings of perennials that were seeded following pitting. The strips not pitted are badly crusted and almost no water penetrated the soil. The area is almost bare. TX-48, 178.

Soils, Soil Erosion, Soil Conservation & Crop Management
Photograph of lost wheat crop. Right: the field as planted to wheat after the land lay fallow over the summer. The wheat was likely planted too late and this, together with the lack of stubble on the surface resulted in the loss of the crop. Left: A small area of the wheat field that made a fair stand. If sorghum had been planted last spring instead of the following [the wheat/], the sorghum stubble would have helped to hold the soil for the wheat crop. TX-1844.
