Land in Oklahoma is used prl.noipr.lly ror pt.sture ta.nu ou.1.tivatee1 orops. A limited area. 01· rou g h, broken H,nd in the southea;:Jtern p"'-rt of the state is sui t11ble 1'or use as a commerci&.l forest. Post timber can be grown on deep san<1y soi.LS in oen"tnt.l and eastern Oklahoma. and on many bottom lands where 1·requen't overilow is a serious hazard in the production of cultiVb.'ted orops.
Present Condi'tions
intermingling or shallow and deep soils is favorable for the production 01· lives"toc.k in many parts 01· Oklahoma beoause "the areas of shallow soil can be used only fo r pasture. '!he acreage of land in Oklahoma which is used for pasture is about twice the area used for cultivta.ted crops. The ratio between the lb.nd t.rea suitable for crvps and the acreage which should be used f"or €;razing will have an important ini'1uenoe on the "type or l'&>rmi ng which is folloY.ed on a particular tract of land. lµ some areai; smal l grain or oot"ton is pb.nted on a. hil!;h peroentag e 01' the h.nd. b.ll<1 the n.&.jor po1·tion 01· the farm inoome is derived from "these crops.

Improving: the ch1:1.raoter of the vegetation on large areas 01· abandoned lana and our.trolled grazing on many areas of good pasture land are important problems in the development of' better pto.stures in many localities.
Control or water erosion on sloping lt>-Ods when row crops are grown, c ontrol or wina erosion on ~undy lt:i.nd, oonserv~tion of raint'all in the western part of the state, are also important problems which must be considered in connection with better ma..,agement of cu.L tivl:l.teu land.
Reclamation Needs in Oklahoma
There are many bottom 1and soils in Oklahoma affeoted by overrlow which ta.re not poorly drta.ined. There are other bottom lan<i soils and. some terrace soils where runoff water collects on low lyinl> t.rsas and poor crop yields ta.re obtained because of both inaaequate surface and. subsurface dro.inag;e. The major portion of the poorly dra..ined soils in Uklo.home. occur in the cen'tral ~nd eastern part 01· the state.

ALFALF:&. AND ALFALFA SE.ED
Alfalfa baa been grown in Oklahoma largely as a hay crop. 1hree to five cuttings a year are produced and aom.e alfalfa is grown in every county.
With the deTelopment or efficient dehydratinr, equipJDent, several new dehydrating plants have been built in Oklahoma.
The processing of alfalfa by dehydration elimin~tes losses due to weather conditions a.n<i gives increased pro1'its to the 1'arm.t1r due to the higher price of alfalfa meal.
In recent years the production of alf'a1f'a seed hta.s been increasing in importance. '.lhe 1~45 crop is estimated at 175,000 bushels, 3~% above the ten-year (1934-43) average. The 1943 crop of' 184,000 bushels is the greatest of record.
Oklahoma produced about 15~ of the nation's alfalfa seed ano ranked first in production in 1944.
Tables No._,!!_and 27 give yearly data on ~lfalfa hay and alfalfa seed.

Oklahoma is a loadixlg state in the production of Pecans. Much effort is being mllde to improve and increase the pro<1uction. !lany native pecan and walnut treea are being budded or grafted ~ith paper ahell peoana. New orchards have been planted to paper shell varities and old orchards improved by removal ot other trees and underbrush.
The improvement in cracking machinery baa resulted in increased interest ot growers in improving native groves aue to better market•
for seedling nut,. Many new cracking plants h~ve been establishea in the star.e wb1oh tends to improve the market i'or seealing nuts. Potentially there are thousands of acrea tht1.t can be improved economically by thinning and cul tiv1,.ting or ptlsturing the aret1.s. This method oi'fera the beat possible profit to the Gklahoma pecan grower.
For many years Oklahoma has ranked 2nd in the pro<1uotion of pecans. ibe greatest year or record was 1941 when over 30 million pounds •re harvested. Production for lij44 is below normal.
