Alfalfa
Alfalfa is beginning to grow nicely.
II is most tempting morsel now for
all kinds Of livestock on the farm, and
II is quite a temptation for the farm
er to turn on a few run down sows
OF some milk cows that need a little
spring tonic. But don't do it now.
Let the alfalfa have little rest this
month at least and It will repay you
many fold.
Hog Pasture

yeur oats is pastured down put II into
COW peas.
Sweet Clover
There is considerable talk about
sweet clover nowadays. Some are
ardent ad' ocates OF this new crop
and others are Just as strongly
against It. We used to consider Il
nothing but a stinking weed up in
Nebraska, whore II grew along the
road side. Nobody thought that live
stock would eat 1t. But IL seems that
live stock can become educated to en-
Joy new tangled feed crops. The plant
is similar to alfalfa in its fertility re-
storing qaulties" and is mostly used
for that. pprnose. One advantage II
has over alfalfa is that II viii grow
IN worn ont hiilsides where alfalfa
will do no good. In our opinion that
IS the. only use we have for sweet
clover in Oklahoma or anywhere else.
