Even where it is cut for hay and only
the roots and stubble turned under 1t
has a marked influence in increasing
the yields of succeeding crops. 1t
makes an ideal hay for cattle and In
the clover sections should constitute
from one-half to two-thirds of the
roughage ration of milk cows. Sheep
and young stock of all kinds make ex-
cellent gains on either the pasture or
the hay. In addition to its usefulness
as food for animals 1t has most
important effect upon the land in
maintaining the supply of nitrogen in
the soil. BY means of the nitrogen
fixing organism on its roots the red
clover plant is able to gather large
quantities of nitrogen from the air
and leave it In the soil in a form which
can readily be utilized for growing
crops. If not infrequently happens
that the yield Of grain crop can be
doubled by the growing and blowing
under of crop of clover.
The most serious problem at present
confronting the American farmer in
many of the clover sections is the in
creasing difficulty of successfully
maintaining stands Of clover upon the
farm.
With continuous cropping and the
consequent depletion OF the soil of
humus and plant food the difficulty Of
growing red clover is greatly in
creased. This condition must be met
and solved, since the loss of clover or
its equivalent from the rotation leads
rapidly to a rundown farm and un-
profitable crop yield.
1t should be emphasized, however,
that the mere introduction of red
clover into the farm rotation Is not
in itself sufficient procedure to main
tain indefinitely the productivity of
the farm. The clover plant adds only
the nitrates to the soil, and removes
large quantities of potash, phosphorus
and lime from the soil, especially
when cut for hay and the manure re.
sulting therefrom is not returned to
the land The increased supply Of
nitrogen may In fact stimulate the
soil to increase yields. temporarily.
only to leave 1t. after few years. In
condition worse than II no clover
had been grown.
It is important that considerable
care be taken in choosing the seed to
be sown. If poor seed is used, the ex-
pected crop may be partial or total
failure.
