Bees
Photograph of Claude Webb, and K.C. Bennett, SCS Representative, proudly display a few bees from the 70 bee hives on the Webb farm. Bees are a most important factor in the pollination of soil conservation legumes. This is a very economical way, according to K.C. Bennet, to get more and better returns from legumes in a planned soil and moisture program. Bees feed on vetch, sweet clover, peach and other blossoms on the Webb farm. Webb sold around $500.00 worth of honey last year.

Alfalfa Being Readied for Baling
Photograph of an 8 year old stand of alfalfa being readied for baling. W. M. McCarty, work unit conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service, holds up some of the mowed alfalfa. This stand received 2 tons of lime per acre when planted and a light application of sheep manure. It yielded 1. 5 tons per ace by the end of the third year. Treated with 300# of 32% raw rock phosphate to the acre then it made good but spotted growth. The fan-type phosphate distributor used was blamed. Later another 300# of the phosphate was put out after the first cutting. Now yields run 3. 5 tons per acre per year. This soil is upland prairie, Soil Group 6.
