SAVING CLOVER SEED
Is ECONOMICAL NOW

The department of agronomy. Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
Kentucky advises the saving of clover
seed this year for home use. MANY
more fields could have profitably
saved seed this year if clover hui.
lers were available. The scond crop
OF clovr made good growth in many
parts Of the state this year. Despite
the fact that seeds saver without a
ever, practical to save seed for home
use.
The seed should be cut and raked
into small windrows as soon as the
seed heads are brown and the seed
hard and glossy. II is a good plan
to set the cutter as high as possible
as the amount of straw to be handled
will thus be reduced. Put the clover
under cover when it is thoroughly
dried or stack it and cover the stack
with straw. During the late winter
this material can be spread in u thin
cover over the field to be sown to
clover thus giving liberal seeding.
The seed may be freed from the
straw by running the clover through
the separator if grain separator
is available. Although much Of the
clover seed will still be in chaff IL
can be sown without much trouble;
also the chaff seed can be procured
finally by failing the seed out by
hand. Chaff seed gives just rs good
results as clean seed and the only
disadvantage in its use is the diff.
Guilty Of distribution. 1t ought to
be- possible to get some Of the men
operating threshers to get attach.
ments for their machines for clean.
ing clover seed, where there is
considerable amount Of clover in a
county. 1t is said that these at.
,achments give satisfactory service
and most manufacturers make the
attachments.
