Photograph of Field # 2, Series 7. Milo [i.e., sorghum] residues from plantings made on 5-11-67.

Photograph of the area around the Eagle-Pichers Mine, Picher, Oklahoma. Slimes Pond Evaluation of plantings in Commerce, Oklahoma. This is a view of the IMCO mulch tiller manufactured by the Independent Manufacturing Company, Neodasha, Kansas, as used on the Eagle-Picher Slimes Pond hay mulching operation. Note the iron which weighs some 60 to 70 pounds each. These served to put pressure on the treader adequate to press hay into sand. Three tons of hay mulch per year were applied and anchored following the planting of a native grass seed mixture prepared by the Soil Conservation Service Plant Materials Center, Manhattan, Kansas. OK-3013-6.

Photograph of Fullingim Flat in the Mount Pinchot pasture of the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Eastern view from the trail. Note the boulder ridge site in the background. This was a heavily grazed area during the 1940s and early 1950s. Improved management including mesquite control, salt location and change in season of use, has resulted in a change from buffalo grass and many low order short grasses to an overstory—principally of silver bluestem gradually taking its place. Photograph taken during the annual Soil Conservation Service [SCS] cooperative grazing use check. OK-1583-11.

Photograph of the Hay Meadow pasture. The native range is in excellent condition with light utilization. Boulder ridge site is in the foreground. Hilly, stony range site is at the base of the mountain in the middle ground. Rocky mountain escarpment in the background is Mount Marcy in the Big Game pasture, rising out of the east side of Panther Creek. OK-1104-8.
