Trees, Tree Farms, Woodlands, and Forests
Photograph of a pine nursery. Approximately 1,500,000 Loblolly and short leaf pine trees are to be planted during the 1956 – 1957 planting season. Dry weather and the shortage of irrigation water has cut the output of this nursery by approximately 50%. These trees will be used to establish pine stands on old worn crops such as cotton and corn. The trees will conserve the land from further erosion. OK-412-2.

Trees, Tree Farms, Woodlands, and Forests
Photograph of a pine tree plantation. Pine trees planted in the winter of 1948 - 1949 on old cultivated land which was farmed until 1944. First trees planted were dug from woods and transplanted by millhands on the off days at the mill. Later, as nursery stock became available, the tract was planted with seedlings. Earl Hayes, SCS; Lee Swarts, owner; and C.P. Burke, SCS, examine trees to determine when the first cut should be made. The trees were planted as proper land use and a soil conservation measure as well as a cash crop. OK-412-10.

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10741]

[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5150]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "it goes from Chicago to LA, more than 2,000 miles along the way. "Get your kicks on Route 66." "Main Street of America"-will cease to exist. It will live only in the memories of two generations of cross-country travelers, or in the words of Bobby Troup's song, composed as ne motored along the route in its heyday. West of Oklahoma City, U.S. 66 has almost disappeared. In most places, its name has been changed to I-40 and in another five years, the tranformation will be complete. To the east, U.S. 66 still meanders toward Tulsa and up into Missouri, but turnpike-hugging travelers choose to ignore it. California-bound Okies are on the interstates now, their chrome-trimmed pickups and red convertibles and sleek sedans gliding 70 miles an hour into the future. They don't remember the mud and gravel and detours that their predecessors encountered. They don't know the hazards of suddenly rising rivers or sand that could swallow a car until even mules strained to pull it free. To turn the clock back, a curious traveler need to go no farther than Bridgeport, a tiny farm community west of Oklahoma …

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Gusty winds blew Santa Claus into Oklahoma City Friday morning to open the Christmas shopping season, and thousands of children lined his parade route. The weatherman compensated for the winds, which tipped over trash barrels downtown, with bright sun which warmed parade lovers' spirits. Ten bamds heralded his sleigh, below, but it was apparent the kids like the 19-month-old Chip Stroup, right, perched on his uncle Bruce Grayum's shoulders, had eyes only for Santa."
