The cover on the 80 acres was alfalfa for hay 13 acres, alfalfa in pasture 21 acres, grass in pasture 8 acres, corn 22 acres, fallow grassland 11 acres, and trees, shrubs and vines along fencelines and gullies and in a catalpa planting about 5 acres. The plants of the fallow grassland, fencelines and gullies were listed by Hubbard and Hendrickson (1952) in some detail.
