SAVE CRIMSON CLOVER FOR SEED

At the present time we are facing a
possible shortage OF crimson clover seed.
The past winter has been unusually Sc
we're along the Atlantic seaboard and I'm
the south. where the bulk Of American
grown seed is produced. The European
War has made It more difficult than ever
to secure foreign crimson clover seed. The
prospects are that there will be decided
shortage OF seed in this country for next
years seeding. Farmers OF Delaware are
urged 10 allow their crimson clover TO
stand for seed II possible. 1 believe they
Will be readily repaid for this by the ad-
vance, price that Is bound TO come. In
most cases on the lighter soils OF the
State some other crop may follow the
crimson clover so that the land can be
fully utilized for the season In some
cases corn may follow the clover, and in
all sections cOwpeas may be grown for
hay or seed after the clover Is harvested.
Even where the stand OF clover Is not
extra good 1t will pay to harvest for seed
In order to meet the local demands for
next season.
