- Photograph of Hugo Nika (left) and R.E. Daniels [right] examine seed on blue panicum. The 2-row plantings of blue panicum, alternating with 40 ft. strips (12 rows) of clean-tilled land, serve as windbreaks to protect fields from wind damage. Strong winds in spring move soil and so "sand blast" young crops, causing severe damage. Farming is on a contour. These perennial grass strips have been very effective. They were planted in the Fall of 1951. TX-48-262.
