Photograph of unprofitable pecan trees have been cleared, field iin background is now producting fine crop of corn. Lateral ditch coming toward bottom of picture brings in drainage from 8,000 hill acres. Picture taken morning after very heavy afternoon storm. Note by amount of water in ditches how well drainage system worked. Facing NE.

Photograph of water now has unobstructed flow. New bridge replace old one which washed out. Making observations from bridge are Ovid Neal (eft), ag. Engineer and J.A. Killough, DC.

Photograph of spoils leveled for planting alfalfa in fall of 1951 for the Choska Drainage District. "Spoils leveled for planting alfalfa in fall of 1951. Alfalfa in the field is now growing at right. Leveled strip is half mile long. 90 feet wide. Camera position is same as in Okla-9801-B, but facing south."

Photograph of a 14-acre alfalfa crop ready for a second cutting on the Choska Drainage District. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Ready for second cutting as this 14–acre crop of alfalfa yielded two tons first cutting. Formerly too wet to be productive, field produced five tons of alfalfa in 1950 per acre. Drainage ditch on the right is just out of camera range. 18-acre field on other side of ditch that never produced anything before drainage yielded fifty bushels of corn in 1950. Other acres are also benefiting by drainage."

Photograph of Ovid Neal and J. A. Killough, SCS Technicians, examining a field of corn and soybeans in the Choska Drainage District that at one point could not produce and grow crops until adequate drainage was installed, as the land was too wet. People shown in photo go as followed from left to right: 1. Ovid Neal, 2. J. A. Killough. The back of the photograph proclaims, “SCS Technicians Ovid Neal (left) and J. A. Killough look over fine crop of corn growing on land too wet to produce before drainage was installed. Soybeans are growing in background. Camera facing north on west side of lateral 1-A-1.”

Photograph of Agricultural Engineer Ovid Neal and DC J. A. Killough, standing on a brand new bridge in the Choska Drainage District, which replaced the old, washed out bridge.

Photograph of fine crop of Alfalfa now ready for second cutting growing on this land that was formerly too wet to be productive. SCS Technician, J.A. Killough finds field well drained on morning following heavy downpour the previous afternoon after intormittent rains had fallen for more than a week. Lateral ditch bank seen in right background. Camera facing NE.

Photograph of land that needs conditioned in order be productive once again on the Choska Drainage District. The spoils bank is on the right of picture, just out of range. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Spoils bank of Choska drainage ditch is at right, out of picture range. Corn is poor in spots because it will take two or three years more to condition this soil, it was waterlogged so long. Deep-rooted legumes would hasten conditioning. Field used to be entirely unproductive."

Photograph of a field of corn on the Choska Drainage District. Note, both this field and a nearby road both receive adequate water drainage into a nearby ditch, seen in the extreme foreground, as at one time the field was too wet to grow crops and the waters made the nearby road impassible after heavy rains. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Once too wet to be dependably productive, this land is now producing a fine crop of corn. This picture was taken immediately after a very heavy storm. Note water in ditch along road. Impassible during storm, bottom roads drained off quickly and could be traveled hour after rain stopped. Water used to block roads for week or more before drainage system was installed."
