GOOD RETURNS.
kingsbury County Farmer Receives
$41S.50 from Seven Acres
of Clover.

DeSmet, April 1S.-G. Abraham
son, a progressive farmer living a
few miles from DeSmet, has just sold
the last of the white sweet clover
seed which he raised last year, and
finds that from only seven acres of
his farm he marketed a crop of seed
which brought him an aggregate re-
turn of $418.50, or an amount about
equal to the value of the land on
which the seed was raised. In addi-
ton, he retained enough of the seed
raised on the seven acres to sow is
acres on his own farm this spring,
as well as supplied his brother with
enough of the seed to crop 20 acres.
His experiment in raising white Glow
er seed for the market has demon
strated that this crop is one of the
most valuable that can be raised on
South Dakota farm lands. The seed
does not by any can represent the
entire product of the seven acres, as
he harvested from the tract several
tons of good clover hay.
