- Photograph of beef cattle grazing 20 acres of improved Bermuda grass pasture. Mr. Gunn, in the picture, developed the pasture several years ago from an old cultivated field and said, “I have mowed the weeds twice a year for three years and I’ve about exterminated a heavy growth of broomweed that hampered the Bermuda’s growth. In 3 years of regular mowing my grazing capacity has increased from one animal unit [for every] 3 acres to one animal unit per acre, 8 months out of the year.” Each year he harrows in and spreads the manure dropped by grazing stock and said that the grass cover is still improving. TX-41, 230.

- Photograph of W.A. Maples farm land. Wind strips on Contour. 4 rows of crotolaria alternating with 8 rows of peanuts on 20 acres of Texas field. Next year, Maples plans to use a 4-row strip with 2 rows of crotolaria on the outside of two rows of peas. Crop residue is from last year's strips of sorghum. Peanuts on the field last year yielded 24 bushels per acre. The 74 acre field is all planted on the contour and stripped for wind erosion. 30 acres are protected with 2 rows of peas plus a row of sorghum on each side; 5 acres with 4 row strips of peas; 19 acres with 4 row strips of sorghum; 20 acres with 4 row strips of of crotolaria. Peas and crotolaria were fertilized with 100 pounds super phospate per acre. TX-41-302.
- Farming Equipment and Methods
- Photograph of W.A. Maples farm land. Contour cultivation and wind strips for erosion control on peanut land. The four rows of sorghum planted alternately with 8 rows of peanuts were severely grazed and a slight amount of wind erosion is evident although it is not serious. Wind erosion control strips on peanut fields should not be grazed and tall growing vegetation should be left to afford the fullest possible protection to the sandy soils. TX-40-893-B.

- Photograph of pasture development and improvement. Beef cattle grazing Bermuda pastures overseeded to Dallis grass, yellow hop, black medic and white Dutch clovers. 15 acres cleared and sodded this year. Mr. Jeffus, the district supervisor in the picture says, “In 1937, I started clearing and retiring 216 acres for pasture. With assistance of CCC [Civilian Conservation Corps} we cleared 40 acres of small trees and heavy undergrowth and retired 176 acres of cultivated land that in 1936 had overflowed 13 times before I made a crop. This is rich bottomland that is capable of producing a bale of cotton or 40 bushels of corn per acre but wet seasons made yields uncertain. I’ve moved the pasture every year and it carries 108 head of cattle the year round with only a little hay to help through the winter. The land is worth more in pasture than it would be in cultivation even if I made a maximum crop every year. I believe regular moving has increased the carrying capacity of this pasture four times.” TX-41, 227.

- Photograph of the Hills Brothers Ranch, Fairfield, Texas. A herd of registered polled Herefords grazing upon improved Bermuda and carpet grass pasture. A heavy growth of trees and underbrush was cleared from the area about 3 years ago and where the carrying capacity was about unit to 8 acres it is now 1 animal unit to 1½ acres. This pasture was not seeded after clearing but grazing has been controlled. “We had one 300-acre brush pasture that used to carry only about 35 head,” said Mr. Hill, “but now that it has been cleared and improved it will carry a cow to the acre.” See TX-41, 125 for area typical of this pasture before improvement. TX-41, 121.

- Marge Guiglardi Irrigated Farm Pasture
- Photograph of Guiglardi examining some alfalfa on his irrigated farm where new borders have been established according to plans made with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service technician assigned to the district. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Photograph of Mr. Guiglardi examines some of the alfalfa on his irrigated farm where new borders have been established according to plans made with the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service technician assigned to the district. Note the contrast between the irrigated valley land in the foreground and the sand hills in the far background. Flood waters from these sand hills frequently do serious damage to the fertile productive valley lands. In 1941, a flood from the sand hills severely damaged an 8-acre field on this farm. Four acres were deeply sanded and four additional acres were damaged severely. With the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service, owner leveled the land, changed the rows, and in 1942 produced an average of two bales of cotton to the acre. It was the best production he had ever made on the 8 acres. Without this work, the land would have produced nothing in 1942."
