Soil erosion in the cornfield on William Keefe's farm in Benton County, Indiana. Note subsoil, and gradation to fertile topsoil from left to right. This county has the best soil in the state. This field has been in hay or pasture six out of the last sixteen years; the slope at this point in the field is three to five percent. The owner, who did not know how to stop this erosion, had followed the plan of filling in gullies by plowing until two years ago; thus this picture shows gullying on the field in two years' time. Rotating crops: corn, wheat, clover, would have stopped this erosion

The latest in cotton planting. Washington, DC, July 15. John Randolph, engineer of the U.S. Bureau of Agriculture Engineering demonstrates a model of a variable depth cotton planter which he invented. The small white dots at which he is pointing mark the wavy line of seed as planted by this new machine which makes it possible to get a strand of cotton no matter what the moisture conditions in the soil. This planter is now manufactured by several farm machinery companies and thousands are in use in the cotton belt, The essential part of the machine is a cam which causes the planting shoe to rise and fall as the planter moves forward, 71538
[Hurricane Katrina] Empire, LA, December 7, 2005 - Debris is collected and deposited at the Plaquemines Parish Debris Grinding Site. A crane transfers the debris into the grinder where it is ground to one fourth of its original volume, sprayed with water to reduce airborne residue and travels out of the grinder by conveyor belt into a pile where it is bulldozed into a pit that can hold over 3 million cubic yards of material.

Warns U.S. of crop shortage, Washington, D.C. Aug. 12. The country will be faced with the worst crop shortage in years during 1936, according to Joseph A. Becker, chairman of the crop reporting board of the Department of Agriculture. Shortage of corn will be the worst since 1881 and potatoes will also be scarce. Becker's potato chart shows a decrease of the million bushels planted in 1936 compared to the production in 1925, which was also a lean year. This means you eaters who number spuds among your favorite dishes, will have to be content with 2.7 bushels per person this year
Robert Shinn, CHIEF of the State Department of Environmental Protection, picks up a scoop of lead that was removed earlier from the dune of Range 24 at Fort Dix. Looking on is Mike Warminsky, Director of Remediation, Brice Environmental Services Corporation. The Lead at this point has been washed as part of the process of removing lead from the soil. Part of the removal process is similar to that of panning for gold, applying an agriculturally based method of a biotechnology called phytormediation that is designed to rid the range of hazardous lead

Reporters scramble for crop reports, Washington, D.C., October 10. Due to a premature leak of information from the crop report of the government several years ago, the Federal Crop Reporting Board has a system to prevent premature information which might influence the stock market. The reports are laid on a table a few yards away from the newsapermen who are held off by a rope. At a given signal, the rope is dropped and the reporters rush to the table, pick up the reports, and make another rush. This time to the phones to phone their papers. The photograph shows some of the reporters after the rope was dropped
