SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Increasing Attention Being Given Crop
az Forage PIant--Used Success
fully as EnsiIage.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
For the past two years increasing
attention has been given to sweet
clover as forage plant. County agri-
cultural agents in several states last
year gave the crop some attention in
an experimental way Those in Kan
sas and South Dakota were particu-
larly active, and the results were SO
satisfactory that the area seeded this
year has been enormously increased.
A report from Allen county, Kansas,
states that more than 1900 acres were
seeded in that county this year Last
year farmer in Clinton county, Iowa,
conducted an excursion to a farm on
which is grown annually so to 100
acres of sweet clover for hay and pas
ture on land worth more than 800
per acre. On June and 10 this year
two Illinois county agents joined in an
excursion to a 300-acre sweet clover
farm in Ogle county, Illinois. One
county sent 81 automobiles with 100
farmers representing 25 townships. A
total of As automobiles made up the
train. Among the interesting things
done on the farm visited is the pas
turing of go head OF cattle on 40 acres
of sweet clover. The clover is also
used successfully as ensilage.
