Mr.. d. T. Nash, of Elm township,
was telling us the other day of some
experiments he has been making with
OsAo oSO no SO"ON o'
field to flax and clover. After taking
off the flax he let the clover have the
field for three years and then plOwed
it under and seeded the ground with

had twice as much corn as his neigh

next year he sowed the field to oats
and had A bushels per acre to his
, neighbours 20. The next year he let
the clover have the ground again and
sold $500 dollars worth of seed, besides
the hay he fed. That was last year.
This year be has planted the land to
corn, which is already up, while the
ground is as mellow as a garden. He
never sOwed the clover but once. And
the land has been getting better every
year. That is the kind of farming
that is going to make Kansas rich.
