Photograph of an UNIDENTIFED man standing in a field of Balboa rye and hairy vetch, which will be used for seed production. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Combination planting of hairy vetch and Balboa rye for seed. 30 acres to be harvested with regular combine (6-foot sickle) for seed. Surplus vetch seed to be sold through AAA after rye and vetch are separated with special gravity seed separator. Balboa rye to be sold through local seed sources. 100 pounds of triple superphosphate (AAA) applied per acre. 20# of inoculated hairy vetch planted per acre (home grown seed) with one-half bu. Balboa rye (home grown seed) planted with Van Brunt 12-disc, 7-inch spacing on ground prepared with field cultivator with plowing (turning) ground."

Photograph of a combination seed huller, scarifier, cleaner and grader. This machine was operated at about 1200 rpm with a 3 to 5 horsepower gasoline motor and cleaned at the rate of 1000 pounds of cleaned seed per day. The loss in weight from unhulled, unscarified seed from the grain operator varied from 15% to 35% in weight where average loss was 25%. AR-D25-31.

Photograph of Mr. W. L. Chiddix and his son with 36 sacks of lespedeza seed, divided up as six 100 pound sacks of cleaned Korean lespedeza and 30 sacks of uncleaned seeds. Mr. Chiddix estimated his total harvest at 300 pounds of clean sericea and 1000 pounds of Korean Lespedeza seed. He expects to sell 600 pounds of clean Koren lespedeza seed and plant all of his uncleaned seed on his own farm. Some farmers in this have bought small model clipper cleaners and operate them with washing machine motors. AR-D25-4.

Photograph of the harvesting of lespedeza seed with a Henkle lespedeza combine attached to a six foot cutter bar on a Farmall mower. 150 pounds of lespedeza was harvested from 5 acres is rather unusual for this time o fyear. Some shattered lespedeza seed already is coming up on this field. AR-D25-6.

Photograph of J.M. Shores with eight 100 pound sacksof Korean lespadeza seed harvested from his farm. He will plant this seed for erosion control and soil control and soil improvement in other fields on his farm. AR-D25-3.

Photograph of an UNIDENTIFIED man using a John Deere combine to harvest Balboa Rye and hairy vetch seed from field. A second UNIDENTIFIED man, who has a camera, is standing on the combine. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Harvesting seed from combination planting of Balboa Rye and hairy vetch. Seed is being transferred from combine hopper to pickup. After seed are cleaned separated and tested for purity and germination, they will be offered for sale in the regular channel of trade."

Photograph of ranch manager Mr. Orville Austin using a Farmall F20 tractor and Model 11A John Deere combine a field of Balboa Rye and hairy vetch. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Harvesting combination planting of Balboa Rye (1/2 bu.) with hairy vetch (20 lbs.) per acre basis. Model 11A John Deere combine with 5-ft. cutter bar pulled by Farmall F20 tractor on steel is utilized for harvesting this combination planting. Mr. Orville Austin, manager of this ranch, is operating both the tractor and combine harvester."

Photograph of Orville Austin standing in a recently seeded field of hairy vetch and Balboa rye. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Combination planting of hairy vetch (20#) and Balboa rye (1 bu.) seeded with combination (16 disk, 7-inch spacing) drill with fertilizer and grass seeder attachments with 175 lbs. of superphosphate applied per acre at time of planting. This field was planted to hairy vetch and Balboa rye and seed crop was harvested in July 1942 with combine. The straw and stubble remained on the field until immediately before the present (1942) seeding. This field was prepared for the 1942 seeding going over the field three times with a tandem disk and tractor followed with two times over 6 ½ ft. field cultivator attached to the tractor, followed by one time over with tandem disk before planting with the above combination fertilizer, disk, and grain drill and seeded on September 17, 1942."

From introduction: In this study the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines, United States Department of the Interior, cooperated. The author prepared detailed geologic maps showing the surface topography, geology, and workings of 11 mines, and the underground workings and geology of 7 of these; the Bureau of Mines engineers directed diamond-drilling and.bulldozer-trenching. The locations of the detailed maps are shown on plate 23, an index map overprinted on a segment of the map made by Reed and Wells.

Photograph of the combination planting of oats and vetch in an apple orchard in Lowell, next to Highway #71. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Combination planting of vetch and oats in apple orchard. Cover crop has been cut into the soil with tractor and double disk to serve as a mulch in the orchard. A common practice over a number of years in this orchard. Growth of vetch and oats in the foreground was left unplowed and serves as a border strip along the highway. This strip helps to show this amount of green manure that has been cut into the soil to serve as orchard mulch."
