Photograph of a bermuda pasture root planted in three foot rows eight or ten years ago by the farmer. The section on the right was plowed last spring but not mowed. The grass is heavier where the plowing was done, although weeds are larger. The pasture is to be mowed next spring and progress pictures are to be made to show the grass growth.

Photograph of Earle Goode of Ardmore cutting through a good stand of Indiangrass and big bluestem on the Secrest Ranch. The combine is owned by asher and Hurlow of Ardmore. The machine was set so high that it barely touched the tops of the larger plants of little bluestem; the exceeding bulk of the big bluestem and Indian grass made this necessary. The seed was cut on contract with the Soil Conservation Service. OK-9755.
