Photograph of J. H. Hanks' Purebred Holstein dairy herd grazing on Bermuda-clover summer pasture. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Land Capability Class I – 7 FC. Slight erosion. Purebred Holstein dairy herd grazing on Bermuda-clover summer pasture. Bermudagrass roots were mechanically planted in the field in Spring, 1949 on a well prepared on a well prepared seedbed with Kiamichi SCD equipment. 2 tons of lime and 200 pounds of super-phosphate were applied before planting and 150 pounds of complete fertilizer were applied at planting time. Ladino, yellow hop, Persian clovers and Korean lespedeza were overseeded in 1949 and 1950. Some Dallis grass [sic] has come in naturally. Former owner established much of the clovers by feeding clover hay. The pasture is in its 4th grazing season.
