Photograph of a well on J. U. Drisdale's land. The well has an output of 2300 gallons per minute with a lift of 120 feet. The back of the photograph proclaims, "J. U. Drisdale's well output is 2300 per minute with lift of 120 feet."

Photograph of a section of Blue Panicum grass on Mr. (Arnold) Kushn's land. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Blue panicum. Mr. Kushn will cut it with a stalk cutter to let it make new growth. The field has had no irrigation water since March, 1944. At that time it was in tomatoes."

Photograph of sprinkler irrigation. The sprinkler irrigation system in operation on pre-irrigated land for cotton growing. This farm is in a low rainfall area and some irrigation is needed to work out a good soil and water conservation plan for most types of farming. Class II land, 2% slope, Soil Unit # 7. TX-273-10.

Photograph of lost wheat crop. Right: the field as planted to wheat after the land lay fallow over the summer. The wheat was likely planted too late and this, together with the lack of stubble on the surface resulted in the loss of the crop. Left: A small area of the wheat field that made a fair stand. If sorghum had been planted last spring instead of the following [the wheat/], the sorghum stubble would have helped to hold the soil for the wheat crop. TX-1844.

Photograph of emergency tillage. Listing (with small sweeps) a sandy field planted with wheat. The field had been idle for several years until about 1943. A crop of rye was grown for 2 consecutive years (1944 & 1945) to tie down the topsoil and as preparatory to planting a wheat crop. Wheat was planted for the first time year and the field is blowing badly. TX-1853.

Photograph of emergency tillage. Listing hummocked field where the feed crop was almost a total loss last year. Soil is shifting about on the field and old furrows are completely filled. TX-42, 435.

Photograph of emergency tillage. Flat breaking (12 inches deep) on a sorghum field for wind erosion control.

Photograph of basin listing on the contour. The dams or blocks are 8 feet apart. TX-140-039.

Photograph of range management. A vigorous bunch of little bluestem grasses (Andropogon scoparius) on [unclear] soil. TX-41, 046.

Photograph of W.A. Maples farm land. Contour cultivation and wind strips for erosion control on peanut land. The four rows of sorghum planted alternately with 8 rows of peanuts were severely grazed and a slight amount of wind erosion is evident although it is not serious. Wind erosion control strips on peanut fields should not be grazed and tall growing vegetation should be left to afford the fullest possible protection to the sandy soils. TX-40-893-B.

Photograph of a display designed and built by the State Office, Temple Texas as assisted by the Field Information Unit. TRC-278-10.

Photograph of wild turkeys on feeding ground with deer in background on Edwin Sawyer ranch, 15 miles southwest of Sonora, Texas. Turkeys are fed corn or milo each afternoon during the winter and spring. Feeding not only supplements the natural winter diet, but helps to keep the turkeys from migrating.
