A Cotton Field That is Unnecessarily Terraced to Prevent Erosion on the R. O. Haddock Farm/Elk City Project

Description: Photograph of a cotton field that is unnecessarily terraced to prevent erosion on the R. O. Haddock Farm. The back of the photograph proclaims, “On long gentle slopes it is not necessary to terrace fields to prevent erosion. Here we have a field, which is planted to cotton on the contour.

The sown strip here is maize."
