[Navarro County Courthouse in Corsicana, TX]

Photograph of Navarro County Courthouse in Corsicana, TX. A small field of yellow grass leads up to a road with a line of cars parallel-parked next to a sidewalk occupied at regular intervals by telephone poles. The courthouse sits on the green lawn enclosed by the sidewalk, with multiple trees growing near the building and the telephone poles. A flagpole rises amongst foliage near the courthouse's entrance, flying the Texas and American flags. The building itself is made of white stone and brick with orange tile roofing. There is a central section obscured by trees, though a triangular pediment is visible, above which is a clock tower sitting on the roof. On either side of the central portion of the courthouse are additional rectangular sections, both connected to the central section by narrow walls. Columns occupy the middle of both rectangular sections. Each section of the building has four rows of windows spanning their width, including a row of smaller windows at the top and bottom edges of the courthouse.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of the harvesting of 35 acres of King Ranch bluestem grass on the A. E. Bryant farm /ranch. A combine with a spike-tooth cylinder was used. Two days were required to harvest the grass. Mr. Bryant estimates he harvested 1500 pounds of clean seed. Planting was made in the spring of 1947. A good seed crop was harvested in June, a light crop in July and a good yield will be harvested in October. From 2 harvests in 1948 a total of 2500 pounds of seed were harvested. Mr. Bryant needs the following adjustments on his combine for harvesting the crop: the cylinder set at a speed of 1080 rpm; the header set high [unclear] off the air; a ¼ to 3/8 inch clearance on the cylinder; and the reel set forward and down. This is a perennial grass that appears to have a wide adaptation as to soil & rainfall. Note that the grass is waist-high. Planted in 3 feet rows (105 pounds on 35 acres). It has been kept in rows as row plantings tend to yield more than drilled plantings. Bryant has obtained good results by [unclear] dressing this grass with 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate …

Photograph of an old area of land. By fencing it on the pasture side rather than the cropland side, the ditch is well-vegetated and protected from erosion. Such odd areas provide nesting sites for quail and a habitat for wild pollenating insects. TX-44, 673.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of a collective terrace outlet strip 225 feet wide sprig sodded to Bermuda grass during the last week in March 1949. Land was bedded and roots dropped in middles and covered by rebidding. Cotton was planted on April 20, 1949 on beds about 3 inches above the roots. The cotton was cultivated like the other cotton except the last plowing was left off. There were 3 plowings. Cotton in the photo made about 1/3 bale per acre and cotton adjacent to grass made a little more. 130 acres will be terraced and this strip will be accommodate the drainage. Terraces will be constructed on November, 1949 and after terracing, the strip will be fenced and used as pasture. Note excellent grass cover. This is a follow up of TX-45, 727. TX-46, 437.
