The Evolution of Agricultural Research on Texas' Blackland Prairie and Beyond.

In the early 1900s, Texas agriculture and impoverished tenant farm families faced depleted soils, severe soil erosion, and low crop yields. In response, the Texas Legislature in 1909 sanctioned the establishment of up to ten agricultural research stations across the state's primary agricultural regions. This book traces the growth and collaborative research achievements of the Blackland Research and Extension Center and Grassland, Soil and Water Research Laboratory in Temple, Texas. Initiated as Temple Substation No. 5, the station began field research in 1911 and soon was joined by USDA scientists.
