Photograph of pine forest improving cut was made in this stand in 1955. Bad trees as well as some trees for pulp wood and saw logs removed to make room for other trees to grow and also make room for natural reproduction. Useless hardwood trees in this stand have been controlled.

Photograph of pine seedling planted in the spring of 1955. Hardwoods in this plantation have been partially controlled. All larger trees have been girdled. This area was burned over before seedlings were set in 1955.

Photograph of bermuda grass pasture established from seed 14 months from seeding date. Pasturing has ben deferred to furnish late summer grazing. Weed control and proper stocking rate to maintain and conserve base grass is necessary.

Photograph of Bermuda grass base pasture from seed developed on formerly timbered land in May 1955. Timber cut off at ground level with a crawler tractor mounted scalloped blade cutter in the fall of 1955. Land prepared in the spring of 1956.

Photo made 9 weeks after seeding. Moderately grazed from seeding time. Owner plans weed and brush control with herbicides.

Photograph of pasture establishment following planned conservation treatment for establishing bermuda grass and clover pasture. Bermuda grass roots were planted with a mechanical bermuda grass sprigger available to cooperators of the Latimer SCD on a rental basis. Roots were planted on a well prepared seed bed and fertilized with 150 pounds of 10-20-10 per acre applied in rows at sprigging time, limed according to need.
