Photograph of a Deep Sand Savannah Range Site, a scene of the type of hardwood growth on a deep sand savannah. Note size and growth statue of trees in foreground.

Photograph of excellent condition of native grass left of fence has been accomplished by treating brush and deferred grazing. The pasture to the left of the fence was sprayed by airplane in June of 1956 with 2 lbs. of 2-4-5-T per acre, and again with 1 lb. per acre in June of 1957. The pasture was not grazed after spraying until frost. Pasture on right has not received treatment and has been badly overgrazed.

Photograph of northwest corner of Jefferson School ground with erosion caused by heavy traffic and overhead water.

Photograph of diversion terrace on Jefferson School ground empties into road ditch. Lack of proper installation and vegetation resulted in this severe erosion problem.

Photograph of grazing cows; range improvement. Excellent condition of native grass left of fence has been accomplished by treating brush and by deferred grazing. The pasture to the left of the fence was sprayed by airplane in June of 1956 with 2 pounds of 2-4-5-T herbicide per acre, and again with 1 pound per acre in June of 1957. The pasture was not grazed after spraying until frost. Pasture on the right has not received treatment and has been badly overgrazed.

Photograph of conservation cropping systems. Corn shown growing on Dennis silt loam soil following cover crop of small grain and vetch. Two hundred pounds of 5-10-5 fertilizer used at planting time. The estimated yield is 85 bushel per acre. OK-365-7.

Photograph of conservation crop rotation. Field of Class III and IV, 7-OH soil, planted with Bermuda sprigs in 1942 and 1943. Pastured continuously with no maintenance until the spring of 1955, at which time it was plowed and planted to Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation. Bermuda made good growth after Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation had matured. Land was plowed in the spring of 1956 and planted to corn with an application of 200 pounds of 10-20-10 fertilizer per acre at the time of planting corn. Corn was harvested in September and yielded 50 bushels per acre. The Bermuda was used for fall pasture followed by vetch and small grain. OK-371-8.

Photograph of crop rotation, terracing and contour cultivation. The terrace was built in 1940. Two rows of sorghum, one row of peas, and cotton on the left. Cotton will average ¾ of bale per acre and the cooperator says he would not have made more than ½ bale per acre without the terraces. Mr. C. H. Lewis is picking peas between corn rows. OK-8261.
