Photograph of George Eldred and Clay Wilson, SCS technician, studying grass growth in an 80-acre field seeded to native grass mixture in March 1950. People shown in photo go as followed from left to right: 1. Clay Wilson, SCS Technician, 2. George Eldred.” The back of the photograph proclaims, “Eldred, right, and Clay Wilson, SCS technician, studying grass growth in an 80-acre field seeded to native grass mixture in March, 1950. This picture was taken in a 9-acre area which was fertilized in April, 1951, with 150 lbs. of 5-10-5 an acre. Grass in this area has evidenced much better growth than grass in non-fertilized area. Grass has not been grazed. Eldred will use it for winter grazing after it becomes well established. 7RP-IV.”
