- Bindweed Control
- Photograph of Ted Lehman, WJC, and Bill Storm, County Agent, examining an area treated for bindweed. Farmer applied Boroacu at the rate of 2300 pounds per acre in the Spring of 1953. A good kill was received except around the edges. Note size of area that has been out of production for three years. Bindweed is considered a serious problem in some areas of the High Plains. OK-138-4.
- Farming Equipment and Methods
- Photograph of land plowed in preparation for fall seeding. This operation of pulling a section harrow over land further reduces the size of clods, increasing the wind erosion hazards. Too much tillage is a problem that must be overcome in combatting wind erosion. Ted Lehman, WUC [Water Usage and Conservation] of Beaver, Oklahoma, says this is the "powder keg for blowing." OK-138-5.

- Land Clearance, Cultivation & Brush and Weed Control
- Photograph of weed control. Ted Lehman, Work Unit Conservationist [WUC] and Bill Storm, County Agent, examine an area treated for bindweed. The farmer applied Borascu, a boron-oxygen based weed killer, at the rate of 2300 pounds per acre in the spring of 1953. A good kill resulted except around the edges. Note the size of the area that has been out of production for three years. Bindweed is considered a serious problem in some areas of the High Plains. OK-138-4.
- Land Clearance, Cultivation & Brush and Weed Control
- Photograph of weed control. Ted Lehman, Work Unit Conservationist [WUC], Beaver, Oklahoma, examines regrowth of bindweed around the edges of an area treated with 2300 pounds of Borascu weed killer per acre in the spring of 1953. Bindweed is considered a serious problem in some areas of the High Plains. Persistent work is required to control this weed. Note the size of the area where grain sorghum is not growing. OK-138-3.
- Field Preparation for Fall Seeding
- Photograph of tractor plowing the land for fall seeding in Beaver County. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Land plowed in preparation for fall seeding. This operation of pulling a section harrow over land further reduces the size of clods, increasing the wind erosion hazard. Too much tillage is a problem that must be overcome in combating wind erosion. Ted Lehman, WUC Beaver City, says this is a "powder ker [sic] for blowing."

- Guar Trial Planting
- Photograph of Bill Storm, County Agent, and Ted Lahman, WUC, examine a trial planting of Guar. Six to eight pounds of seed planted per acre, in 36 inch rows. A good stand was received and indications are that a good seed harvest will be made. However, some drought damage was present. Guar shows promise as a catch crop in this area of Oklahoma. More observations are needed to see if stubble will control wind erosion and if sub-soil moisture is lowered to the point of affecting the following year's crop.
