- Photograph of the W.R. and Joseph B. Cutrer Ranch showing improved pasture on an old cultivated field. In the spring of 1943 increased milk production from 30 dairy cattle on pasture was worth more than $17 per acre. They expected to harvest at least 100 pounds of clover seed per acre. Daily milk production from 30 cows increased from 275 pounds per day to 650 pounds per day when cows were placed on 24 acres of clover pasture in the spring of 1942. Treatment: 2 tons lime per acre, 700 pounds basic slag per acre and seeding of 10 pounds of a mixture of equal parts of hop, white, Dutch and Persian clover per acre, plus 10 pounds of Dallis grass per acre. Soil type, Kalmia, very fine sandy loam, above “B.” LA-D7-1.

- Photograph of pasture improvement. In 1943 and 1944, one ton of lime and 250 pounds per acre of super-phosphate were applied each yearf.

- Photograph of Karl Goebbel inspects his White Dutch clover as cattle graze this improved pasture. This is Crowley silt loam, lighter and more porous than the soil of the Joe Zambreaher [?] from Abbeville, LA. Each farm is typical at its class of soil. In addition to some fertilizer treatment given Zambreaher's improved pastures. Lime was added here becasue the soil was deficient in calcium and magnesium, the limestone used being half calcium and half magnesium, as explained by Rufus K. Walker, Rice Experiment Station. See LA-61-459 and LA-61-461.

- Photograph of J.B. Cutrer, left, and Dr. H.H. Bennett, chief of the USDA SCS, right, watching a young Guernsey cow enjoying a good meal of fine clovers in improved pastures established in the Fall of 1941 at a cost of approximately $17.00 per acre, not including labor. Cutrer says "When the herd was turned into pasture on April 23, 1942, our daily milk production ranged from 275 to 300 pounds. Two weeks later, milk production ranged from 600 o 625 pounds. Also saw a large savings in food. Cattle have grazed continuously except for a short time when taken off to all clovers and grass to reseed. Health of herd has also improved. Cows have no trouble at calving time." The Cutrers established their first improved pasture, 2 acres in 1939; in 1941, 22 acres were developed and in 1942, 35 acres were established. LA-D7-3.

- Photograph of Goebbel (right) and David E. Black, in charge of rotation investigations of the Rice Experiment Station at Crowley, Louisiana, discussing this field of oats and Kobe lespedeza as it fits into a 3-year rotation plan. The fields here are the second year of rotation. After another year all the fields will be converted to rice production for 2 years. The 2 fields of oats and lespedeza (= 18.4 acres) were grazed for 45 days by 12 cows. The cattle were put into the fields on December 20, 1947, taken off on January 20, put back on February 12 and then taken off for the season on February 27, 1948. The oats and lespedeza will be harvested, the Blacks estimating a yield of 1½ tons of lespedeza per acre, and 30 bushels of oats, the latter having suffered from a hard freeze. See LA-61, 459; LA-61, 460 and LA-61, 462 and the Zaumbrecher photos made at Abbeville, Louisiana. LA-61, 461.

- Photograph of Leopold Noel, Jr., right, discusses this 90-acre improved pasture of white Dutch clover, Bermuda grass and Kobe lespedeza with a Soil Conservation Service technician. This pasture is alternated 60 acre field of name vegetation. On January 1, 150 cattle were put on this 90-acre field &are still grazing it. Before pastures were improved, they were composed of carpet grass and broomsage. “We could run only one quarter the number of the cattle we have now and they stayed skinny,” Leopold, Jr. said. “Now we buy skinny cattle, fatten them in the improved pasture and sell them. We feed only 400 pounds of cotton meal cake for all the cattle daily in January.” Pasture improvement is part of a coordinated soil conservation program. Numerous field drains keep excess water off the pastures. See LA-61, 481; 482; 484; and 485. LA-61, 483.
