- Grass, Legume and Forb Cultivation
- Photograph of the harvesting of 35 acres of King Ranch bluestem grass on the A. E. Bryant farm /ranch. A combine with a spike-tooth cylinder was used. Two days were required to harvest the grass. Mr. Bryant estimates he harvested 1500 pounds of clean seed. Planting was made in the spring of 1947. A good seed crop was harvested in June, a light crop in July and a good yield will be harvested in October. From 2 harvests in 1948 a total of 2500 pounds of seed were harvested. Mr. Bryant needs the following adjustments on his combine for harvesting the crop: the cylinder set at a speed of 1080 rpm; the header set high [unclear] off the air; a ¼ to 3/8 inch clearance on the cylinder; and the reel set forward and down. This is a perennial grass that appears to have a wide adaptation as to soil & rainfall. Note that the grass is waist-high. Planted in 3 feet rows (105 pounds on 35 acres). It has been kept in rows as row plantings tend to yield more than drilled plantings. Bryant has obtained good results by [unclear] dressing this grass with 100 pounds of ammonium sulphate per acre. Group 5 blackland soil. Grass was harvested when about ½ of seed heads were straw color and the seeds could be removed easily from the tips of the spikes. TX-45, 903.
- Farming Equipment and Methods
- Photograph of a new type of pasture mowing machine which was made by W. H. DuPay from the rear ends of Model A Ford cars and pipes. The blades on the machine were removed from a one-row stalk cutter. Mowers in tandem will cut 11 feet in one month and will cut only weeds. Sprouts approximately the size of a man’s thumb can be cut. This pasture was mowed with the machine. Note weeds near the fence. These 3 mowers cost approximately $110 to manufacture. They are hitched in tandem when mowing and as moved along a road they can be hooked one behind the other with the blades inverted. W. H. DuPuy states the mowers will do the work in one day of more than 3 tractor mowers and there is very little maintenance. Wheels of the mowers furnish the power to turn the blades. The machine works on the same basis as the homemade superphosphates distributor. TX-46, 157.
