County Commissioners furnished the pipe and the Soil Conservation District put in a fill through the Soil Conservation Service Flood Control program. The permanent basin is full of water. OK-9600-D.

Photograph of agricultural terraces. Collective terrace outlet sprig sodded to Bermuda grass in March, 1949 and planted to cotton in May, 1949. Cultivation of cotton results in the cultivation of Bermuda grass. The width of the strip is 160 feet and will be fenced and utilized as pasture after grass is well-established and the terraces are constructed. TX-45, 717.

Photograph of the harvesting of 35 acres of King Ranch bluestem grass on the A. E. Bryant farm /ranch. A combine with a spike-tooth cylinder was used. Two days were required to harvest the grass. Mr. Bryant estimates he harvested 1500 pounds of clean seed. Planting was made in the spring of 1947. A good seed crop was harvested in June, a light crop in July and a good yield will be harvested in October. From 2 harvests in 1948 a total of 2500 pounds of seed were harvested. Mr. Bryant needs the following adjustments on his combine for harvesting the crop: the cylinder set at a speed of 1080 rpm; the header set high [unclear] off the air; a ¼ to 3/8 inch clearance on the cylinder; and the reel set forward and down. This is a perennial grass that appears to have a wide adaptation as to soil & rainfall. Note that the grass is waist-high. Planted in 3 feet rows (105 pounds on 35 acres). It has been kept in rows as row plantings tend to yield more than drilled plantings. Bryant has obtained good results by [unclear] dressing this grass with 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate …

Photograph of a collective terrace outlet strip 225 feet wide sprig sodded to Bermuda grass during the last week in March 1949. Land was bedded and roots dropped in middles and covered by rebidding. Cotton was planted on April 20, 1949 on beds about 3 inches above the roots. The cotton was cultivated like the other cotton except the last plowing was left off. There were 3 plowings. Cotton in the photo made about 1/3 bale per acre and cotton adjacent to grass made a little more. 130 acres will be terraced and this strip will be accommodate the drainage. Terraces will be constructed on November, 1949 and after terracing, the strip will be fenced and used as pasture. Note excellent grass cover. This is a follow up of TX-45, 727. TX-46, 437.
