Thrash Direct From Field.
When it is possible to thrash in a
week or ten days after cutting the
crop should be thrashed directly from
the field as little seed ordinarily will
be lost during this time and the work
of stacking will be avoided. The seed
may be thrashed either by failing or
by the use of a grain separator or a
clover huller. The yield of sweet clo-
yer seed varies from two to ten BUSH
els of recleaned seed to the acre.
Sweet clover straw may be utilized for
soil improvement or as a roughage for
stock.
