Land Clearance, Cultivation & Brush and Weed Control
Photograph of brush eradication. Sprayed (using a Basal Treatment—an oil soluble herbicide is mixed with an oil carrier instead of water and applied to the plants) in February, 1957. Large tree had circle hacked with an axe, small trees had only a spray band 1 foot wide at the base of the tree. A 2-4-5T herbicide gave a 100% kill. The Soil Conservation Service [SCS] recommends this use of the herbicide over mechanical removal as it reduces resprouting. OK-579-9.

Farming Equipment and Methods
Photograph of use of two bottom plows to plow out channel of new terraces that were constructed with a small road maintainer. Mr. O.N. Newton (on the tractor) owned a farm 1 mile south, 1 mile west which he terraced in 1938 under CCC supervision. Before renting this 160 acre farm (with 60 acres cultivated), this year he told the owner he would rather not farm it unless it was terraced. Newton agreed to rent equipment and build 5,300 feet of terraces and in return, Mr M. Cook, the owner, agreed to give Newton the AAA conservation payments, "We'll both make more money with less work this way," Newton told Cook, "Your farm will be worth more after it is terraced and there'll be no washes develop in the cultivated fields." Oats and Korean lespedeza will be planted in this field. Okla-8698.

Cattle grazing pasture which was still in good condition at the time of the photograph was taken. OK-8411.
