SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Enables Farmer to Grow Regular Crop and Then Secure Manure Crop
 to Flow Under.

The problem of the farmer has been to find a crop that was a leg,1me to take the place of clover when it fails. With sweet clover it will be possible to grow a regular crop on the soil and then secure a heavy green manure crop the same year to blow under. Much of the future policy of farming depends upon a cheap supply of uitro- gen to build up that lost from the soil by cropping, and no other crop has given so much promise as the new an- nuai sweet clover.
