Contour Farming

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.
