Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of Ten acre field of alfalfa planted following 2 years of sweet clover, where lime was applied. Sweat clover and alfalfa received application of 48% superphosphate at a rate of 150 pounds per acre. Alfalfa seeded in the fall of 1942 after a field of sweat clover was turned under in the summer of 1942. This method of seeding alfalfa following the sweet clover helps insure complete inoculation of alfalfa. Part of the field seeded to common variety of alfalfa & the rest to the Grimm variety. Recently a small check area has received an application of boron at a rate of 20 pounds per acre. Elbert Graham, farm owner and one of the district supervisors, is standing in the foreground of the picture. AR-D25-70.

Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation

Photograph of a volunteer crop of crimson clover which has reproduced itself by volunteer seeding for a period of 5 consecutive years. This winter's legume crop has served as soil conserving and building the [?] winter legume. Disking has been about the only cultivation given this 12 acre red apple and peach orchard in the background where the crimson clover has volunteered red with the seeding made in the fall of 1943. Dewey Vaughn, farm operator, is shown examining some of the heads of crimson clover which the farm owner expects to harvest for the seed. The seed yield has been estimated at 300 pounds per acre or more for that part grown without small grain. AR-D25-71.

J. R. C. Moseley Standing in a Field of Hairy Vetch

Photograph of J. R. C. Moseley standing in a field of hairy vetch used as both a cover and soil-building crop and seed production. Moseley in this photo poses with some hairy vetch in hand. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Part of the excellent hairy vetch cover and soil building crop that is being saved for seed on the Moseley Ranch. Mr. Moseley (in photo) says that this 70 acres of vetch and an adjoining 70 acres of Abruzzi rye carried 195 cows from Jan. 1 to Feb. 29, 1944. The crop was not damaged and the vetch will yield an average of 250# seed per acre. It is estimated that Mr. Moseley will harvest 150,000# of seed this year. Last year he harvested 40,000 lbs. of vetch seed from 160 acres."
