Photograph of Claude Leonard, Work Unit Conservationist, [WUC] of Rush springs, Oklahoma, observing excellent growth of Little Bluestem. This heavily timbered area was in poor range condition. In early June 1955, two pounds of Kuron (propionic acid) per acre was applied by aeroplane. All vegetative growth of shrubs and trees was controlled on 90% of the shrubs and trees. A definite percwentage of tree kill could not be determined at this time but a tremendous growth of primarily Little Bluestem can be observed even directly underneath the trees. An excellent seed crop was produced by this area which was completely deffered from grazing during 1955. For the "before" treatment piucture refer to OK-12-1. Soil Unit 12-RP is the prevalent soil type. OK-190-5.
