In fact, from the light way she spoke.

a crop which interferes with few
of the regular crops commonly
grown on the farm and yet cap

much as the longer lived red
clover. While it is prominently

that we must use something to
take its place if we are to main.
tain the producticeness of our
soils, and crimson clover is un-
doubtedly the best substitute we
have.
Many farmers have had poor
success with crimson clover, and
this has led to the belief that it is
not adopted to Kentucky condi-
tons. Most of these failures
were doubtless due to lack OF
knowledge of the requirements OF
the crop and careless and thought
