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.

Lead-Zinc Mining
Photograph of Slimes Pond, Eagle-Pichers Mine, Picher, Oklahoma. A follow up on Photo No. OK-3013-7. A test to determine whether rye can be grown for cover crop and whether grass can be established in growing rye. View from the southeast corner of Field No. 7 — 3.1 acres. Rye seeded on 9-25-67. Fertilized 250 pounds of 10-20-10 fertilizer at planting time. Top dressed 250 pounds 33-0-0 February 1968. Since native grass drill was not available, field was roto-tilled and native grass was overseeded with an E-Z Flow spreader on March 26, 1968. Rye showed considerable chlorosis at that time and stand was also weakened by tillage. See foreground. OK-3118-5.

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.

Photograph of a view of the IMCO mulch tiller manufactured by the Independent Manufacturing Company, Neodesha, Kansas, as used on the Eagle-Picher Slimes Pond hay mulching operation. Note the iron which weighs some 60 to 70 pounds, each. These served to put pressure on treader adequate to press hay into sand. Three tons of hay mulch per year were applied and anchored following the planting of a native grass seed mixture prepared by the Soil Conservation Service Plant Materials Center, Manhattan, Kansas.
