ONCE cLAssED AS WEED;
NOW VALUABLE FORAGE.

Brookings. S. D., june 23.-"Sweet
clover, ono regarded as a weed. is
worth 81, 900, 600, 900 to South Dakota,
because it is one of the greatest soil
improvers and stock feeds" asserts j.
G. Hutton. associate agronomist at
State college. He says:
Sweet clover helps to maintain the
nitrogen supply in the soil; it makes
good hay; and it produces a large
mount of valuable seed which there is
a ready market for. There is no danger
whatever of it's becoming a field weed.
which has been demonstrated by eX-
periments where sweet clover is fol-
lowed by a cultivated crop, such as corn
or pOtatOeS."
