Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of poison weed plots on the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. Members of the Texas Section, American Society of Range Management view the enclosures while on a field tour. Livestock were excluded from the area since October, 1951. Various locoweed control treatments have been tried. One outstanding result of the enclosures is in the recovery of cane bluestem grass. The area receives a little extra water from the adjacent highlands. Outside the plot the few cane bluestem plants found were closely grazed. Blue grama and buffalo grass predominated. Inside the enclosure, bluestem predominated in spots, with a great increase in vigor and the number of plants. TX-48-350.

Photograph of the farm of C.L. Miniek of Hedley, Texas. Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation, following cotton with cover crop of Austrian winter peas, yielding three times as much Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation grown on the same type of land without a legume cover crop. Mr. Miniek planted Austrian winter peas as a winter cover crop in the fall of 1946 on that part of the field where the larger Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation is growing. The Austrian winter peas were inoculated and 100 pouinds of phosphate fertilizer was applied per acre at the time of planting.

Photograph of oats following oats: 15 bushels per acre. Oats following vetch: 60 bushels per acre. J.N. Dickenson, the Palo Pinto, Texas Soil Conservation District supervisor, who lives 6 miles northwest of Perrin, listens while G. F. Wimberley, post master and soil conservation district cooperator tells how vetch increased his per-acre yield of oats from 15 bushels to 60 bushels per acre. The increase is indicate by comparing the two piles of oats, 4 ounces in one and 16 ounces in the other. The vetch was planted in December, 1943. It was grassed and it yielded 7254 seeds on 6.2 acres. TX-43. 157.

Contour Farming
Photograph of strip crops and cover crops on contour for wind and water erosion control. Rye cover crop was seeded immediately after peanuts were dug. Crotalaria in 4 rows, peanuts in 8 rows. Mr. Whit Sides says that the crotalaria prevents soil from blowing after the peanut harvest while also fixing nitrogen and humus to the soil. Where peanuts have already been harvested this year, Mr. Sides says he made from 2 to 3 bushels more per acre from the old crotalaria strips than he did on land where sorghum or other non-leguminous crops were planted last year. TX-41, 815.
