Tame Pasture on E. T. McCollum's Farm
Photograph of Claude Newland, SCS Soil Scientist, examines the field of E. T. McCollum, 2 ½ miles north of Vinita. The back of the photograph proclaims, "This field produced 6 ½ bushels of oats per acre in 1950. The oats had been overseeded with sericea lespedeza. The sericea was fertilized with 650 lbs. per acre of rock phosphate which was drilled into the soil. In 1962 the sericea was plowed up, 2 ½ tons of lime and 100 lbs. of 10-20-10 fertilizer per acre was applied and Greenfield Bermuda was planted. That fall the Bermuda was overseeded with vetch, rye and fescue and 125 lbs. of 10-20-10 fertilizer was applied. No fertilizer has been applied since that time. Estimated forage yield was 4 tons per acre in 1966."

Photograph of Field # 2, Series 7. Milo [i.e., sorghum] residues from plantings made on 5-11-67. These rows were fertilized with 200 pounds per year of 10-20-10 fertilizer (1st 4 rows left to right) and 400 pounds per year for the next two rows and 200 pounds per year for the next two rows. These rows were side-dressed with 50 pounds of 33-0-0 in 6-67 on all of two rows and two rows half way. On 3-25-68 a native grass mixture (Vinita harvest) was interseeded, hand broadcast and hand-raked to cover. The east half of these rows were broadcast fertilized with 200 pounds of 33-0-0 per year and the west half with 200 pounds of 10-20-10 per year. OK-3013-12.

Photograph of Field # 9 with hay mulch applied on 4-1-68. This 0.8 acre area was first seeded to a mixture of native grasses assembled by the Manhattan Plant Materials Center. It was then mulched with prairie hay at 3 tons per acre. This was anchored with an IMCO disc treader (mulch tiller) pulled from a farm row tractor. Note the water standing where tractor tires force the parched water table to the surface. 250 pound 10-20-10 fertilizer top-dressed immediately after mulching. OK-3013-16.
