Photograph of Bonnie Tice on a John Deer combine harvesting weeping lovegrass on 90 acre planting. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Bonnie Tice harvesting weeping lovegrass on a 90 acre planting. This planting is 2 years old and was fertilized in 1958 followed by being pastured most of that summer. In addition to being pastured, 2 cuttings of hay was removed which produced approximately 50 bales per core. Fertilizer was applied in 1959 at the rate of 50 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. The 1959 seed harvest was 10,400 lbs. of seed from the 90 acres. Since the seed harvest, a hay crop has been removed and approximately 69 head of cattle are being pastured."

Photograph of Sericea lespedeza. The grass is cut and raked in windrows on 4 acres of an idle, cultivated field, which was seeded at the rate of 25 pounds per acre on June 10, 1942 with a cyclone seeder. The field was flattened, disked and harrowed. Three and one half acres were fertilized with 200 pounds of 20% phosphate per acre and the seed bed packed with a cultipacker. Seeds were covered with a second rolling of the cultipacker. A severe drought in 1943 prevented all but one hay crop. Freddie Brown, the District Supervisor, estimated that he harvested 1.5 tons of hay per acre for a total of 6 tons. One hay crop in 1944 yielded 8 tons. A seed crop will be harvested later this year. One-half acre was left unphosphated at the time of seeding for a field test. The area phosphate yielded 50% more hay than the untreated area. Soil is very infertile. Adjacent land sodded to Bermuda grass in June and July, 1942 is living but making no growth whatever. L to R: Maynard Collins, Freddie Brown and John Moberly. OK-8961.
