Photograph of an automatic sprigging machine planting Bermuda grass roots on the 2:1 back slope of dam at Site 22 Big Wewoka Creek watershed. The tractor and sprigger are held in place by a caterpillar on top of dam. This grass is being planted to prevent erosion on the dam. It is being fertilized at time of planting and will be irrigated to get it established.

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. III CT 7. OK-10, 836.

Photograph of Sportsman Lake, Seminole, Oklahoma. It was designed and constructed under the supervision of the Soil Conservation Service [SCS]. This lake will be stocked and managed for fish production. First in a series. OK-11-12. [Photo incorrectly identified the location of the lake in Wanette, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma.]

Photograph of L. F. Phillip (left), ranch foreman, and Soil Conservation Service [SCS] Technician W. C. Mitchell check up on the growth of grass in this 2-year-old Bermuda pasture that has done well under proper management despite a drought. This was old cultivated field. Clovers are to be overseeded. The 70-acre field was given 1 ton of lime and 100 pounds of 12-24-12 fertilizer when the Bermuda was planted and 100 pounds ammonium nitrate at the end of the first year. III CT 7. OK-10, 831.
