Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention
Photograph of representative erosion damage in this section from a heavy rain, approximate a 1 inch accumulation on May 9, 1947. Silting and washing in this 35 acre cornfield have destroyed conservatively 12 to 18 percent of the corn and cotton crop. Corn and cotton was cultivated up and down rows and dozens of small washes 3 to 25 feet wide have covered the young plants completely with silt. Erosion control methods, properly established, would have reduced the damage to less than 1%. Class II land in foreground; Class III in the background. Soil is a Houston blank clay; slope 2% to 4%; erosion 11 and 111. TX-43, 659.

Castwright Ranch Gully
Photograph of an UNIDENTIFED man standing in a gully. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Gully caused by constructing terraces in 1940 and emptying them on an unprotected area. Gully is 6 ft. deep at lower end and 20 ft. deep at upper end. This average width is 30 ft. Collective terrace outlets could have been established in 1940 by sodding approximately 5 acres to Bermuda grass two years prior to terrace construction. In 1949, it will require about 18 acres to establish the outlets. A hairpin diversion will be installed. Area on either side of gully has been sprig sodded."

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of the harvesting of 35 acres of King Ranch bluestem grass on the A. E. Bryant farm /ranch. A combine with a spike-tooth cylinder was used. Two days were required to harvest the grass. Mr. Bryant estimates he harvested 1500 pounds of clean seed. Planting was made in the spring of 1947. A good seed crop was harvested in June, a light crop in July and a good yield will be harvested in October. From 2 harvests in 1948 a total of 2500 pounds of seed were harvested. Mr. Bryant needs the following adjustments on his combine for harvesting the crop: the cylinder set at a speed of 1080 rpm; the header set high [unclear] off the air; a ¼ to 3/8 inch clearance on the cylinder; and the reel set forward and down. This is a perennial grass that appears to have a wide adaptation as to soil & rainfall. Note that the grass is waist-high. Planted in 3 feet rows (105 pounds on 35 acres). It has been kept in rows as row plantings tend to yield more than drilled plantings. Bryant has obtained good results by [unclear] dressing this grass with 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate …

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of Victor Lewis (left) and H. Hoffman, Soil Conservation Service [SCS] technician on the right, examining Bermuda grass which is making a vigorous growth in a field of hairy vetch. This was a needle grass field and out of cultivation since 1949 until the hairy vetch was seeded in the needle grass (but without seed bed preparation) and fertilized at the rate of 400 pounds of 0-20-0 fertilizer per acre. This is one method of establishing Bermuda grass on needle grass land. Where there is no Bermuda grass present, it is necessary to sod the land after the fertility has been improved with vetch and 0-20-0 fertilizer. Class VI, Soil Unit 6. TX-47-601.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
Photograph of a collective terrace outlet strip 225 feet wide sprig sodded to Bermuda grass during the last week in March 1949. Land was bedded and roots dropped in middles and covered by rebidding. Cotton was planted on April 20, 1949 on beds about 3 inches above the roots. The cotton was cultivated like the other cotton except the last plowing was left off. There were 3 plowings. Cotton in the photo made about 1/3 bale per acre and cotton adjacent to grass made a little more. 130 acres will be terraced and this strip will be accommodate the drainage. Terraces will be constructed on November, 1949 and after terracing, the strip will be fenced and used as pasture. Note excellent grass cover. This is a follow up of TX-45, 727. TX-46, 437.
