Description:
Photograph of the City Service Company compressor plant in Straight, Oklahoma. Built in the midst of a wheat-growing area in the Oklahoma Panhandle in 1944. The first year the compnay had a great deal of trouble from blowing dust. The Soil Conservation District helped them get a start of buffalo and other grasses to treat the problem. Now the entire 160 acres surrounding the plant is tied down with grass. OK-10, 338.
