How much clover are you going to
SOW this spring? Spring IS the time
to SOW clover and just as soon as the
danger of frost is over, is the be t
time. Yes, seed is high but that cuts
but little figure when you realize how
little it takes to SOW an acre and figure
the benefits. Don't pillow the ground
if you wish tu SOW clover. The disc
and harrow are all the tools needed,
lest it be a roller. The seed bed
should be solid with a finely pulverized
surface. This ground that has been
farmed continuously for 20 or more
years must have a rest. Tame grass
rests and improves the land. Common
red clover is the surest Of the grasses
for this climate. Properly put in, 1t
is as sure as any other crop. Try
some clover.
