The obtaining of a good stand of
clover has long been a problem in the
Palouse country. The agricultural de-
partment has apparently solved the
problem. A plot on the college farm
was plowed last fall and this spring a
fine seed bed was prepared and the
seed was put in shallow with a hoe
drill, turning the hoes we'll back, and
giving no further narrowing. The re-
suit was a good stand of clover.
