periments on this point. They are
hardly needed.
One objection, if not the only one, to
early cutting Of clover especially. may
be named, viz: clover roots gather much
organic matter which enrchcs the soil
for other crops, even when the clover
itself is moved for fodder. Experiment
and observation seem to show that
these roots continue to develop and
enlarge up to the full maturity of bios
soming and seed-gathering an increas-
ing amount of fertilizing material
When, therefore, the clover stubblc is
to be plowed under for other crops, the
loss from later moving is PARTLY made
up in the increase Of roots and stubble.
| How much account is to be made OF
this, we have, as yet, not sufficient en-
periments and investigations to decide.
