Photograph of a Soil Conservation Services technician examines white Dutch clover in a field of oats. The field will keep the oat and clover crop for 2 years, planted to rice for 1 year and then returned to oats and clover again for 2 years. It was rice last year, the yield being 12 barrels an acre. This is part of a coordinated soil conservation program. Oats spotted because of poor drainage and damage from a freeze. LA-61, 484.

Photograph ofthe little daughter of owner, Janel Mouton, picks white Dutch clover blossoms to show how the clover grows along with oats in this 30-acre improved pasture. After 2 years of improved pasture, the field will be planted to rice for 1 year, then back to oats and clover. In this field, oats were grazed from January 1 to mid-March. Improved pastures fertilized with 150 pounds of nitrate of soda. This is all part of a coordinated soil conservation program which also includes a drainage system designed by Soil Conservation Service technicians assigned to the Soil Conservation District. LA-61, 479.

Photograph of improved permanent pasture of oats, Kobe lespedeza and white Dutch clover, with the farmstead in the background from its prior state of unimproved pasture of inferior vegetation. Oats were planted in the fall of 1947, clover planted on November 15, 1947 and lespedeza planted in late February 1948.

Photograph of Leopold Noel, Jr., right, discusses this 90-acre improved pasture of white Dutch clover, Bermuda grass and Kobe lespedeza with a Soil Conservation Service technician. This pasture is alternated 60 acre field of name vegetation. On January 1, 150 cattle were put on this 90-acre field &are still grazing it. Before pastures were improved, they were composed of carpet grass and broomsage. “We could run only one quarter the number of the cattle we have now and they stayed skinny,” Leopold, Jr. said. “Now we buy skinny cattle, fatten them in the improved pasture and sell them. We feed only 400 pounds of cotton meal cake for all the cattle daily in January.” Pasture improvement is part of a coordinated soil conservation program. Numerous field drains keep excess water off the pastures. See LA-61, 481; 482; 484; and 485. LA-61, 483.
