Bees
Photograph of Claude Webb, and K.C. Bennett, SCS Representative, proudly display a few bees from the 70 bee hives on the Webb farm. Bees are a most important factor in the pollination of soil conservation legumes. This is a very economical way, according to K.C. Bennet, to get more and better returns from legumes in a planned soil and moisture program. Bees feed on vetch, sweet clover, peach and other blossoms on the Webb farm. Webb sold around $500.00 worth of honey last year.

Black Locust Growing on Strip Mine Areas near Boy Scout Troop 104 East of Broken Arrow
Photograph of a UNIDENTIFED man inspecting black locust growing on strip mine areas near Boy Scout Troop 104 east of Broken Arrow. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Black locust growing on strip mine areas. In 1944 black locust was planted in a single row on the top of the spoil on 8-feet spacing within the row. All other growth has sprung or developed from that sprouting. This proves that black locust is a good plant to use in re-vegetating strip mine areas and also gives a good spread from roots; gives good food and cover for wildlife. Planned by SCS technicians."
