Photograph of H.R. Wells, biologist, left, and M.D. Gamble, Agronomist, discuss a western wheatgrass planting. This native, cool-season grass furnishes good food and cover for wildlife, as well as excellent grazing and erosion control. This ;iving grass exhibit was planned and established by members of the Soil Conservation Society of America, in cooperation with the Oklahoma Seedman's Association and the Oklahoma State Fair and Exposition. OK-298-12.
