clover this trouble is Of course elimi-

Button clover also makes good hay.
For this purpose 1t should be cut when
most of the pods are still green but
well developed, and just before the
leaves begin to fall. If allowed to be-
come more mature, many Of the pods,
as well as the leaves, are lost In han
ding. A supporting crop of oats or
barley or some other grain should be
sown with the button clover In order
to facilitate cutting. There are, how
ever, number of other legume crops
that are more desirable for hay pro-
duction than button clover, so that its
use for this purpose will no doubt be
very limited. For green manuring the

ing of the soil prior to sowing will per-
haps aid in establishing a stand, but
except on good land this will hardly be
profitable. Ordinarily the most profit
able practice is to sow the seed broad
cast and allow it to compete with other
pasture plants. Where the winters are
mild, the clover should be sown In the
fall, and If there are summer rains the
seeding should be done about the first
Of September. Early summer seeding

(Pre pared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Button clover is new pasture plant
which specialists in the United States
department Of agriculture are now adj
vOcating for use in the milder districts
of the Southwest and along the Gulf,
the South Atlantic and the Pacific
coasts. This plant will succeed, 1t is
said, wherever bur clover does well,
and it is to be preferred to the latter
in certain respects. Under favorable
conditions it produces more seed and
ii has no spines on the pod or bur. For
this reason it is particularly desirable
for ranges where sheep are pastured.
The great loss Of wool occasioned by
the spiny burs Of spotted or tOothed
bur clover getting into the fleece is
evidence. says Farmers Bulletin 100, a
new publication of the department on
this subject. of the value of a species
with a spineless pod.
Button clover is as yet but little
known in most parts Of the United
States. In general appearance and
manner of growth 1t resembles the
toothed or California bur clover and
the spotted or southern bur clover. The
chief difference between It and these
two species lies In the burs. In the case
of button clover these are large and
spineless. while the burs of the others
are comparatively small and spiny. The
button clover pods ripen in early sum-
mer and drop from the vines. In their
ripened state they are then available
at any time as food for stock.

clover, growing. period with no ex-

The plant is not adapted to sections

degrees Fahrenheit, and 1t does not do
well in extreme heat. In the United
States it Is believed that 1t will do best

The principal value of the new plant
Is for pasturage. In the green state 1t

has been said, the absence Of spines in

recognized for some time in Australia.
