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. Oats fertilized with 200 pounds of super-phosphate and 100 poundsof nitrate of soda per acre. See LA-61, 482 – 485. LA-61, 481

Photograph of concrete flumes carrying irrigation water over a drainage ditch. Two drainage ditches come together on the other side of the flume. The drainage ditch empties into the Bayou Pointe aux Loups which flows into the Bayou des Cannes [French: “Creek of the Reeds”] from which comes the irrigation water in this canal. Soil Conservation Service technician looks over the drainage ditch flume. See LA-61, 468 – 470. LA-61, 471.

Photograph of Karl Goebbel inspects his White Dutch clover as cattle graze this improved pasture. This is Crowley silt loam, lighter and more porous than the soil of the Joe Zambreaher [?] from Abbeville, LA. Each farm is typical at its class of soil. In addition to some fertilizer treatment given Zambreaher's improved pastures. Lime was added here becasue the soil was deficient in calcium and magnesium, the limestone used being half calcium and half magnesium, as explained by Rufus K. Walker, Rice Experiment Station. See LA-61-459 and LA-61-461.

Photograph of improved pasture. This improved pasture of White Dutch, Persian, hop clover & Bermuda and Dallas grass is part of the coordinated soil conservation program that also includes crop residue management, drainage & fertilization. Planted 2 years ago, 65 acres of improved pastures are fertilized each year with 300 pounds of 20 percent phosphate per acre. After 3 years, pastures will be planted to rice for 2 years. A Soil Conservation Service technician inspects the vegetation. LA-61, 472.

Photograph of the seeding of a 41 acre rice field by airplanes. Two planes hold 700 pounds of seed each and planting this farm at a rate of 140 pounds per acre they completed the 41 acres in 1 hour. Cost of services: 1 cent per pound of seed planted. Seeding done by Hains and Leger, Inc. whose manager Jack G. Hains, Jr. is the son of the Acadia Soil Conservation District supervisor. The firm also seeds grass and sprays by airplane. LA-61, 448.

Photograph of Goebbel (right) and David E. Black, in charge of rotation investigations of the Rice Experiment Station at Crowley, Louisiana, discussing this field of oats and Kobe lespedeza as it fits into a 3-year rotation plan. The fields here are the second year of rotation. After another year all the fields will be converted to rice production for 2 years. The 2 fields of oats and lespedeza (= 18.4 acres) were grazed for 45 days by 12 cows. The cattle were put into the fields on December 20, 1947, taken off on January 20, put back on February 12 and then taken off for the season on February 27, 1948. The oats and lespedeza will be harvested, the Blacks estimating a yield of 1½ tons of lespedeza per acre, and 30 bushels of oats, the latter having suffered from a hard freeze.
