Saving Sweet
Clover Seed

In all parts of the state white
sweet clover grows along the road

white blossOmed sweet clover
should be saved and utilized. 1t is
a pretty well known fact that any
country where farming has been
carried on successfully for many
years is country where some kind
of clover is used in the crop rOta-
ton. 1t follows that if South DakO-
ia is to keep her soil productive,
some kind of clover should be
grown.
White sweet clover is the most
profitable clover yet studied by
your experiment station. The crop
on the Brookings farm in 1913 was
worth upwards OF 800. per acre.
The first crop was cut for hay. the
second for seed The seed used for
the original paintings on the sta.
ton was obtained from the road.
