CRIMSON CLOVER
IN WORCESTER
Its Value for Soil Improvement
Has Been Thoroughly
Demonstrated

During the past few years the value
Of crimson clover for soil Improvement
has been fully demonstrated in Worces-
ter County There is little doubt that
crimson clover is the cheapest and most
effective green manure crop that can be
grown in these sections. Considering
the season and the number of months
the plant occupies in the ground. the cost
Of the seed. fertilizer and soil prepara-
tion. as contrasted with the value Of
the crop removed and the effect on the
soil. crimson clover growing is highly
profitable. The experience Of hundreds
of farmers has shown that crimson
clover will produce crop Of hay and
leave the soil in condition of fertility
equivalent to applying twelve loads Of
stable manure per acre. However,
on lands of low fertility the entire crop
is turned under. After the soil has
been improved. as good results are Sc
cured where the crop is cut and remov-
ed as where plowed under
Crimson clover is especially well adap-
ed to our climate conditions. The mild,
even climate, with the absence Of sud
den and extreme changes of tempera-
ture, fayors the best development Of
the plant. The amount and distribution
of the rainfall during the summer
months insure the prompt termination
of the seed during the heated portion
Of the year. The open winters allow
the clover to make some growth nearly
every month which is an advantage in
preventing blowing and washing. The
length of the growing season is such
that crimson clover may be followed by
other crops which in turn may be seeded
to clover again in the fall. Also a
seed crop of crimson clover may be re-
moved in time to grow crop of corn
or late potatoes
Crimson clover will grow on any type
Of soil, varying from a stiff clay to
almost pure sand, although the plant
will thrive best. other conditions being
equal, on loan soil. Certain precau-
tions in sowing and fertilizing are nee
essary to secure good results on heavy
clays or on very sandy soils Earlier
sowing should be the practice on clay
soils, as the plant must be well estab-
lished to prevent heaving out during
winter A poor sandy soil will require
a small application of mineral fertilizers.
phosphoric acid and potash, in order to
start the plants Often the lack Of or
ganic matter or humus in the soil will
prevent the retention of moisture to
such an extent that the clover will die
soon after termination. if it terminates
at all. While crimson clover has the
reputation OF growing on relatively poor
land. yet in introducing the crop some
attention must be paid to the condition
Of the soil as TO moisture and plant at
seeding time.
