Photograph of a display designed and built by the State Office, Temple Texas as assisted by the Field Information Unit. TRC-278-10.

Photograph of healing/healed sheet erosion on this cotton field located at the Blackland Experiment Station. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Sheet Erosion. After one rain, cross slope runoff on this down hill [sic], straight rowed field cut shallow gullies (4" deep) to the depth of bedded rows. Since then, cotton in the field has been cultivated once or twice and visual evidence of erosion has almost been obliterated. Damage to the field remains unaltered, however."

Photograph of strips of Hubam clover. This strip of Hubam clover was seeded in January, 1938 planted in Irving Clay loam soil, cultivated, 2% A slope, 25% to 75% of top soil removed. Camera: west end of Hubam strip looking east. Owner: J. M. Shenkir, Temple, Texas, Route 4. TX-100, 241.

Photograph of a chart measuring the soil building practice of rotations, including hubam sweet clover [for] increases [in] crop production. Yields measured in bushels per acre. Covers years 1941 - 1943 and their averaging. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of soil conserving and soil building practices of winter cover crops [in the] increase [of] crop yields. Yields measured in pounds of seeds per acre and root rot as the percentage of plants dead by August 2. Year: 1943. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of a chart measuring the soil conserving practice of terracing [as it] increases crop production. Cotton yields measured in pounds per acre and corn measured in bushels per acre for years 1936 to 1939 and with the four years of each crop averaged. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of a chart of the soil conserving practice of controlled grazing [as it] improves [the] quality of meadow hay. Hay yields measured in tons per acre and weeds as the total percent of the hay, for the years 1940 to 1943, including average. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of a chart measuring the soil building practice of rotations, including hubam sweet clover [for] increases [in] crop production. Yields measured in bushels per acre. Covers years 1941 - 1943 and their averaging. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of a chart measuring the increased severity of erosion [as it] reduces crop yields. Yields of corn and oats measured in pounds per acre, a 5 year average from 1939 to 1943. Blackland Experiment Station, Temple, Texas.

Photograph of a chart measuring how saving the soil saves plant food which is essential to crop production. Chart shows the annual soil loss measured in surface inches and the cost of replacing plant food elements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) measured in dollars per acre, both for the years 1933 to 1938.
