Photograph of water lost from a field left of the photograph. The field was cultivated up and down slope. This stream of water came out of field into the bar ditch along highway during a 1.5 in. rainfall. Width of stream in foreground is 40 feet. Photo was taken while raining. Slope estimated to be 2 percent.

Photograph of a river of water pouring out of a section of land. Up and down slope tilled during a 1 1/4 inch of rain. Straight rows may be seen in background. The slope was about 2.5 inch toward the point where the picture was taken. The huge volume of water that broke through the end of the field into the bar ditch along highway caused regular rapids and churning water. Width of water in the main current was at least 2 feet deep. Photo was taken during a rain.

Photograph of strip cropping with Lespedeza, soy beans and corn. Unterraced field. This view is to be compared with OKLA 5310, which shows a nearby field which has the same soil and is about the same slope, but which is planted in straight rows up and down the slopes and the cotton is very poor, as, in this season of very slight rainfall, what did fall was kept on the contour-farmed field, but was lost on the other. OK-5311.
