Photograph of Mr. Rudolph Porter [left] showing Soil Conservation Service [SCS] technician W. C. Mitchell (right) the growth of sericea lespedeza planted in April 1951 in this 12 acre field. Field was transitioning from continuous peanuts and hegira [a grain / grass] production. In March 1953 300 pounds of 0-20-0 fertilizer was applied. One cutting in 1952 yielded 25 bales an acre and part-time use as a grazed field in September and October. On May 15, 1953, cutting yielded 25 bales and an expected ton per acre with the second cutting in late August. The field was then converted to part-time grazing for 75 cows in September and October.
