hide themselves in the clover.
Some say stock won't eat sweet
clover. Call on John L. Green and
see his stock and listen to him
for an hour. Go with him over
the poor hill sides and see what
there.
Mr.. Green has corn in a field
this year where he has been grow
ing sweet clover for four years.
The reason he had it in sweet
clover is because nothing else
would grow there. Corn quit four
years ago. This year the crop
promises 40 to so bushels per
acre or more.
Mr.. Green will sow 20 acres
more this coming year. He says !:
why not, when it's the best crop
on the farm? I am going to make
my poor hills rich; why not do it
its mine ?" Mr.. Green is right.
Sweet clover saved Pen ileton
county and made it famous for
dairy cattle and honey.
