Photograph of W. R. Whitehead hand harvesting weeping lovegrass.

Photograph of hand harvesting weeping lovegrass seed in a 2-year old planting in a corner of a cultivated field. (Note terraces and contour cultivation in background). W.R. Whitehead operates a 520 acre farm and plans to plant 10 to 15 acres of lovegrass next year. Last year he hand harvested 24 lbs. of seed from 1/8th an acre. A 2 acre field of rye grass was grazed by 130 hogs, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon for 90 days beginning February 1, 1945. Seed was then combined from the plot. Mr. Whitehead says the grazing alone was worth as much to him as 200 bushels of corn. Yield of lovegrass seed this year is estimated at 125 lbs per acre from approximately 8 acres. Mr. Whitehead and his son are shown in the photpgraph. OK-8992.
