Photograph of Mr. Rudolph Porter [left] showing Soil Conservation Service [SCS] technician W. C. Mitchell (right) the growth of sericea lespedeza planted in April 1951 in this 12 acre field. Field was transitioning from continuous peanuts and hegira [a grain / grass] production. In March 1953 300 pounds of 0-20-0 fertilizer was applied. One cutting in 1952 yielded 25 bales an acre and part-time use as a grazed field in September and October. On May 15, 1953, cutting yielded 25 bales and an expected ton per acre with the second cutting in late August. The field was then converted to part-time grazing for 75 cows in September and October. III CT 7. OK-10, 836.

Mitchell check up on the growth of grass in this 2-year-old Bermuda pasture that has done well under proper management despite a drought. This was old cultivated field. Clovers are to be overseeded. The 70-acre field was given 1 ton of lime and 100 pounds of 12-24-12 fertilizer when the Bermuda was planted and 100 pounds ammonium nitrate at the end of the first year. III CT 7. OK-10, 831.

Photograph of lespedeza growing on a terrance in a five-acre field of sericea (aka: sericea lespedeza). On terrances the sericea is left intact to provide food (seeds) and shelter for quails. Mr. Mitchell is restoring this former peanut land to productiveness through conservation. IV CT 7. OK-10.289
