Photograph of showing the average growth of the 20 year old ten acre Concord Grape vineyard. The chorty soil was terraced before grapes were set. Soil building crop of vetch, yellow hop clover, lespedeza, and rye grass is maintained at all times except for short period during the final growth and ripening of the fruit. Phospate is applied under the legumes. A regular spray schedule has been maintained. There has never been a failure to produce a fair crop and they have produced 3000 bushels several times.

Photograph of hand harvesting weeping lovegrass seed in a 2-year old planting in a corner of a cultivated field. (Note terraces and contour cultivation in background). W.R. Whitehead operates a 520 acre farm and plans to plant 10 to 15 acres of lovegrass next year. Last year he hand harvested 24 lbs. of seed from 1/8th an acre. A 2 acre field of rye grass was grazed by 130 hogs, one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon for 90 days beginning February 1, 1945. Seed was then combined from the plot. Mr. Whitehead says the grazing alone was worth as much to him as 200 bushels of corn. Yield of lovegrass seed this year is estimated at 125 lbs per acre from approximately 8 acres. Mr. Whitehead and his son are shown in the photpgraph. OK-8992.

Photograph of Clarence E. Bunch, Soil Conservation Service technician (left) and Harry Newer (right), Soil Conservation Supervisor examine some of the cured weeping lovegrass hay that is being baled from windrows on a 2 ½ acre field planted 14 ½ months ago. On June 15 it yielded 350 pounds of reclaimed seed valued at $3.50 to $4.00 per acre. Forty-five days after the grass was cut with a binder for seed it yielded 10 [number unclear], sixty-five pound bales of hay. Total value of yield from planter to date is about $1200 or $600 per acre.** He [Mr. Newer?] planted lovegrass March 27, 1944 after his wife asked him to “sow that field [with] something that will keep the dust out of the house.” He plans to plant an additional 8 or 10 acres of lovegrass next year. OK-9042.

Photograph of oats following oats: 15 bushels per acre. Oats following vetch: 60 bushels per acre. J.N. Dickenson, the Palo Pinto, Texas Soil Conservation District supervisor, who lives 6 miles northwest of Perrin, listens while G. F. Wimberley, post master and soil conservation district cooperator tells how vetch increased his per-acre yield of oats from 15 bushels to 60 bushels per acre. The increase is indicate by comparing the two piles of oats, 4 ounces in one and 16 ounces in the other. The vetch was planted in December, 1943. It was grassed and it yielded 7254 seeds on 6.2 acres. TX-43. 157.
