For Better Success With Clover

II Iowa farmers are to have better
success with red clover growing they
must give more attention to the prepa.
ration of the seed bed; they must find
a better nurse crop, and they must
have a better method Of seeding.
That is the opinion of Prof. H. d.
Hughes Of the farm crops department,
Iowa State college. who has given
much study to the clover situation in
Iowa.
In Iowa. oats is used generally as
the nurse crop. This Is probably the
poorest crop of any that might be
used" says Professor Hughes. 1T
requires more moisture for its growth
than any Of the other crops and 1t
comes off the ground later and shades
the clover plants until the hotter and
dryer parts Of the summer, when the
clover plant Is likely to be killed by
the sun. The oat crop also shades the
ground more during the growing Pc
Rod than some other crops Either
winter wheat or barley shades the
ground much less, requires less mois-
ture for growth and is removed earlier
than most varieties of oats. These
are great advantages In nurse crops
for clover"
Upon the question seeding, Profess
sor Hughes says that the common
broadcast method leaves too much to
chance in the covering OF the seed
by freezing and thawing In the early
spring, or by rains. Broadcast seed
ing. he believes. is responsible for
many lost seedlings. He recites the
example of an Iowa farmer who is sue
cessful in large way in clover grow
ing. HE usually put his clover seed
in on winter wheat in the spring." he
says, but instead of sowing II broad
cast he drills 1t In on top of the
wheat. He maintains that his wheat
yield is not decreased any by this
method, but If anything. increased. for
the light disking forms a mulch that
checks evaporation. His average
wheat yield In such fields has for
some years Appropriated 40 bushels
an acre. When this method is not de-
sirable, the seeding may be delayed
until the ground is dry enough for the
use of harrow or roller following the
seeding"

chances. On bunker Creek only
did he stake a claim. Bonanza
Creek he found staked from mouth TO

pup and gulch that drained into 1t was
likewise staked Little faith was had

staked by the hundreds Of men who
had failed to get in on Bonanza. The
most popular of these creeks was
Adams. The one least fancied was
Eldorado. which flowed into ,nanza,
just above Carmack's Discovery claim.
Even Daylight disliked the looks of FL
dorado; but. still riding his bunch. he
bought half share in one claim on 1t
for half a sack of -four. A month
later he paid eight hundred dollars for
the adjoining claim. Three months
later. enlarging this block of property,
he paid forty thousand for a third
claim, and, though 1t was concealed
in the future, he was destined, not
long after. to pay one hundred and

of all the creeks.
