P PHENOMENAL CLOVER YIELD
senator Hawleyss Crop Averages Over
Nine Bushels Per Acre.


When y Al Butterick, the veteran
thresherman. finished threshing the
clover crop on the farm of Senator
g. i, Hawley, near Mccoy, last week,
the prolificacy Of Polk county soil was
once more emphasized, and crop
record was made that win cause her
sister counties to go some if they beat
it. From field of 80 acres Of clover
belonging to the Senator, Mr., Butter
ick threshed out 296 bushels of seed,
which is an average of 81 bushels per
acre, an unusually heavy yield. Men
familiar with clover seed production
say that five pshels per acre is good
average yield, and that eight is con-
sidered extra good in Oregon, where
the yield runs higher than 1t does in
most other states Of the Union. The
price of clover seed was quoted in Dali
las yesterday at 16 cents per pound.
AT that rate the revenue from Senator
Hawley's clover field would be
$2S45. go, or an average of 1892 per
acre.
The field was pastured quite late in
the spring with sheep, and the Senator
believes that it was benefited there
by.
