Sweet Clover Seed PRODUCTION

Owing to its hardness and vigorous

crop on dry lands and in the higher

scarce, consequently it brings 4 good
price ON the market 70 y "a
y In regions where alfalfa can be
suecessfully grown. sweet clover
should not be given very prominent
place in its agriculture, either as Q
forage or seed producing crop.
3 For the production Of seed either
the first OF second growth of the sec

one to leave for the above purpose
will be governed largely by the length
Of the growing season.
The time to cut sweet clover for
seed is when three-fourths Of the pods
have become dark brown or dark In
color. The crop may be harvested in
much the same manner as alfalfa, the
ordinary grain binder or header be-
ing used. Sometimes the crop may be
cut with the ordinary mower, after
which it is raked and stacked. When
cut with the binder it is first shocked
and stacked. When cut with the
header the crop is usually sacked
shortly after cutting. Good average
yields range from two to six bushel'
per acre.
