Photograph of representative erosion damage in this section from a heavy rain, approximate a 1 inch accumulation on May 9, 1947. Silting and washing in this 35 acre cornfield have destroyed conservatively 12 to 18 percent of the corn and cotton crop. Corn and cotton was cultivated up and down rows and dozens of small washes 3 to 25 feet wide have covered the young plants completely with silt. Erosion control methods, properly established, would have reduced the damage to less than 1%. Class II land in foreground; Class III in the background. Soil is a Houston blank clay; slope 2% to 4%; erosion 11 and 111. TX-43, 659.
