Photograph of prarrie cordgrass (first grass in front of sign) vine Mesquite (second grass in front of sign) and alkali sacaton (foreground) in impoundment basin number 4 at a depth of 1.0 foot following two floodings of 10 days during early spring (3/22-4/1/62) and mid-spring (5/3-13/62). There was no evidence of damage to any of the grasses, except a very slight suppression of growth. For a view of this grass when flooded at same time, except at a depth of 5.0 feet, see Ok-1760-7, dated 6/8/62. This research is under the supervision of Edd D.
