GOOD GREEN MANURING CROP
Big Value of Sweet Glover Is to Turn
Under to Improve Soii-Foiiaoe
Has Bitter Taste.

CBy C r. HUTCHINSON, Missouri Col
lege OF Agriculture-)
The chief value of sweet clover for
Missouri conditions is as a green ma
nuring crop. Being a legume, Ii has
the power Of gathering nitrogen out or
the air and storing il in the soil by
means of the bacteria which live upon
is roots. Since IL makes such heavy
growth and does well on thin lands. it
makes a good crop to turn under to i'm
prove the soil.
The value of sweet clover as a pas
ture or hay crop is much disputed
Some farmers regard ii as practically
worthless and consider II a weed, while
others apparently have had good sue
cess with feeding ii. Its foliage has
bitter taste due to the cumarin ii con-
tains and its stems have tendency to
become woody as they mature. If not
allowed to become too rank before pas
turing, or If cut for hay before the flrst
bloom buds appear, these two objec-
tionable features may be avoided TO
considerable extent and very good feed
obtained. II has been found, too, that
stock will learn to eat it, and after be-
ing fed or pastured on ii do not object
to the bitter taste, as at first. Since
IL is biennial, sweet clover may take
the place of red clover in the rotation
on those lands where the latter does
not thrive well, but on the best lands
it cannot compete with either red clo-
yer or alfalfa for hay.
The fact that the bacteria in the
nodules on its roots are capable Of In
oculating alfalfa has led to the idea
that it is a valuable crop to occupy the
land Immediately before seeding al
falfa. This may sometimes be done,
but usually lands that have never
grown sweet clover need incubation
for Ii as well as for alfalfa 1t has
been found necessary to inoculate the
soil on the experiment station field at
Columbia for sweet clover, and even
with this precaution considerable diff
Guilty has been experienced in getting
a stand. 1t is evident, then, that it is
frequently more difficult to obtain a
good stand that one might expect from
Q general survey of the habits and
characteristic of the plant.
