These 110 acres, which were considered submarginal for further crop production in 1932, produced an average of 24.68 pounds of beef per acre in 1939 during a grazing period I of only 119 days. When the land originally was leased in 1932, the area consisted of 75 acres of abandoned cultivated land from which an average of 12 inches of top soil had been removed by erosion and 35 acres of scrubby oak and sprouts. Various methods of gully control were used in restoring the 75 acres to a profitable use.
The most satisfactory results were obtained by the setting of clumps of native grass and the seeding of sweetclover and lespedeza sericea in gullies after temporary check dams of stalk were prepared and the banks had been plowed down to approximately a 45-degree slope. The best growth of sweetclover was obtained when the soil was fertilized with 100 pounds of lime and 50 pounds, of superphosphate per acre. Because previous studies had disclosed that native grass alone is slightly more effective in preventing rainfall run-off and soil erosion than the mixed vegetation of scrubby trees and grass, the 35 acres were cleared of scrub oak and brush in 1935-36. Regular mowing controlled weeds and sprouts and permitted the native grasses to spread rapidly. The area was protected from fire and grazing.
During the first year after clearing, the 35 acres produced an average of about onehalf ton of hay per acre, and during the third season about threefourths of a ton of a good quality hay was produced. Last year the entire 110 acres were converted into a grazing experiment in cooperation with the Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station. Fourteen grade yearling steers, ranging from medium to good quality, were kept on the pasture from June 6 to October 3, a total of 119 days. The steers, which weighed total of 6,356 pounds when they were placed on the grass, weighed 9,072 pounds at the end of the 119- day period. The gain was 2,716 pounds, an average of 194 pounds per animal, or an average of 24.68 pounds of beef per acre.
Tests of forage utilization showed that only 10.19 percent of the total plant cover was utilized on the 75 acres and 20.79 percent of the total plant cover was used on the 35 acres. More than enough vegetation was left to control soil erosion and to permit the native grasses to reseed. It was presumed, consequently, that a heavier stocking rate than 7.86 acres per steer safely would have given a greater return in pounds of beef per acre. The grazing experiment will be observed and discussed at a field day for agricultural technicians May 29, and a field day for farmers, agricultural workers and the general public May 31. The Guthrie station, the first of its kind established in the United States (1929), has disclosed through studies the importance of vegetation in controlling soil erosion and in reducing rainfall run-off.
For example records kept during an eight-year period showed that the destruction of forest litter 1 by fire each year increased rainfall run-off 31 times and increased loss times. And the run-off of rain was 38 times greater and the loss of soil 1,140 times greater on bare ground than it was on clipped Bermuda grass. Lon Laxton Lon Laxton, 57, died Monday at his home north of Broken Bow and funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at Forest Hill cemetery, with Rev. W. R.
Merry officiating. Arrangements were in charge of Coffey Funeral home. Laxton survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Strayhan, Hugo; Mrs. Vivian Manness, Garvin; two brothers, Mat Laxton and Bill Laxton of Broken Bow.
Pallbearers were Newt Potts, Charlie Potts, Bascom Whitten, George Manness, Clifton McDonald and Fletcher Johnson. "The cotton surplus is not just the problem of the south," states Joe C. Scott, president of the State Department of Agriculture. "It concerns every section of the country. To replace cotton with other cash crops would mean the bringing on of new problems possibly greater than the one on hand."

He has a prized possession in an old Indian bread stone on which Grandmother Maytubby, an early Choctaw squaw, used to make her bread dough, and a necklace made of horse hair. Latimer came to Oklahoma from Clarksville, Texas, 42 years ago. Truly, he is a gentleman of hobbies. His pastimes include such a carefree activity as gazing on the wonderworks as painted by nature. His: collection of relics of the Indian is possibly the finest in southeast Oklahoma.
