Description

Content Description: Photograph of Sweetclover growing on spoil banks left after strip mining of coal. A few trees are also growing in the area. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Sweet clover growing on spoil banks left after strip mining of coal. Leveling of these spoil banks would be more costly than the present value of the land. The clover was airplane seeded to establish some type of vegetation on the banks to build the soil up to where it would support grass. When covered with grass these spoil banks will give limited grazing. Some grass has started to return to this area."
Physical Description: 1 photograph : b&w ; 5 x 7 in.
