Photograph of front view of a easy -flow fertilizer spreader adapted fro Bermudagrass seeding. Holes are adjusted to plant 4-24 inch rows. Seed is mixed with 5-10-5 fertilizer and planted at the rate of 2 lbs. of seed and 200 lbs of fertilizer per acre. The seed is dropped in small furrows that are made by spring-tooth harrow teeth. Press-wheels train in the furrows. Cost of this conversion is about $65 worth of material plus labor.

Photograph of Norman Fischer, one of Louis Fischer’s three sons who operate a farm with him, shows how a sub-surface tillage implement operates, cutting weed roots, loosening soil and mixing residue into the surface. This type of equipment is coming into greater use as a means of controlling wind erosion in western Oklahoma blowing areas. This tillage also helps control water erosion which Norman says sometimes does more damage more quickly than wind erosion. OK-10, 721.
