Photograph of a mule. This beast of burden, although scarce in most sections of Oklahoma, still figures in the economy of the hill country. In the application of a conservation program, a farm planner often must change his thinking from a tractor-operated farm to one in which this animal and his offspring will be used. OK-139-9.
