Photograph of an UNIDENTIFIED man inspecting a field of Abruzzi rye and hairy vetch cultivated by J. Doss Miller in Comanche county, Texas. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Abruzzi rye and hairy vetch on 30 acre old, cultivated field. Crop planted about Nov. 15, 1945, fertilized with 100# superphosphate (0-20-0) per acre. This field is badly sheet eroded (deep blow sand) and contains some bad washes. Last year it yielded about 20 bushels of peanuts per acre, while average yields on same type of soil in the county ran about 35 to 40 bushels. Crop will be harvested for seed. An additional 70 acres were "onewayed" by Mr. Miller for soil improvement to be followed with peanuts. Clipping test yielded 1.6 tons of rye and 4.4 tons of vetch per acre."

The back of the photograph proclaims, "Vetch in bloom and Abruzzi rye in orchard for seed and soil improvement. This is the second year that vetch has been used in the 400 acre orchard. Last year Smith seeded 85 acres and harvested seed on 45 acres, using the seed in the orchard this year. He brought additional land last year & put vetch on a badly eroded, clay hill. It was turned under & followed with peanuts which made 60 bu. per acre. Smith said "Peanuts were fertilized with about 70 to 100# per acre of 4-12-4, but I don't figure we would have made any peanuts there at all without the humus the vetch added to the soil." He will harvest about 120 acres for seed this year, and turn under about 280 acres. This year all the vetch was fertilized with 150# per acre of phosphate. One clipping test showed that the vetch was returning 10 tons per acre of green matter to the soil. In late …
