Sweet Clover Premier
Pasture Plant and Soil Builder

Selection and Preparation Of Land
l. Sweet clover will grow on any
soil.
2. 1t will stand wet feet or grow
under scant moisture conditions.
3. A firm seed bed is necessary.
A.. Sweet clover, for best results,
should be seeded on corn stubble, po-
tato land or any land cultivated the
previous season. Good stands have
been gotten on wheat stubble where
weeds were controlled. Some good
stands have been received from seed
ing on the prairie.
5. Prepare seed bed on cultivated
lands in the same as for alfal-
ia.
Selecting Seed
1. Choose the white blossom sweet
clover, either biennial or annual.
2 There are many hard seeds which
will not terminate the first season
unless scarified or scratched.
B.. More seed should DE planted il
unscarified.
4. Good seed can be had from TX
to 10c per pound. This office car place
any one wishing seed in direct touch
with growers, cooperative seed asso-
Citations or seed houses.
Sowing Seed
Sow 8 to IL pounds to the acre of
scariied seed. IL to Is pounds of
unscarified. Sweet clover can be sue
cessfully grown with a cover crop.
Any small grain with the exception
of oats is satisfactory.
Value of Sweet Glover
Sweet clover is ready for p~asturing
about July list to 18th IL seeded in
early spring. The second year it is
the first green pasture available.
Can be pastured from early spring
to late fall. Will pasture more live
stock per acre without damage than
any other legume or pasture plant.
Will not bloat cattle or sheep. 1t is
not effected by trampling. Sweet Glow
er collects large quantities of nitrogen
from the air and stores 1t in the roots.
The biennial plant dies at the end
of the second year. The roots decay
in thirty days thus adding much hum
us to the soil. The annual white Glow
err dies the same year it Is planted
and makes almost the growth of the
biennial.
Sweet clover cannot be surpassed as
a green manure.
Cattle and horses eat sweet clover
hay through it is not in the class with
alfalfa as a hay plant. IL Is best as a
pasture plant and soil builder.

3. ID. FARM BUREAU PRESIDENT
PLEADS BEFORE SENATE COM
MITTEE FOR NOR. FEDERAL
AID TO FIGHT GRAIN RUST

Washington. April 3.-"In 1920,
South Dakota lost about $500, 900
bushels of wheat, $500, 900 bushels OF
oats and 1900, 900 bushels of barley
as a result of black stem rust,' testi-
fled w. S. Hill, president of the South
Dakota Farm Bureau, this week be-
fore the senate subcommittee on agri-
culture in Washington. Mr.. Hill as
sert that although Gin 1919 the South
Dakota legislature passed a law max
ing It a misdemeanor to harbor COM
mon barberry bushes, yet further
funds are necessary to supplement
the educational work IL the bushes
are to be e~radicated. | do not believe
that our farmers generally realize
that the common barberry bush is the
necessary link in the life of the fungi
which produces the rust, nor do they
recognize the bush when they see It,"
Mr.. Hill was one of a committee
which was in Washington to urge that
federal appropriations be increased
from $147, 900 to $500, 900 annually for
the next three years tc eliminate the
barberry and thereby save farmers
from terrific losses. II was shown
that at the present rate with which
the work is being conducted, IL will
take about IL years to clean up the
barberry bushes in the Is grain states
of the middle west which lose an aver
age Of 1875, 000, 900 bushels of grain
each year. The other members of
the committee were: j. +. Reed, pres
ident Of the Minnesota Farm Bureau;
C. w. Hunt, president or the Iowa
Farm Bureau; Harrison Fuller, secre-
tary of the conference for prevention
of grain rust; DR., e. G. Stakeman of
the University Farm, st. Paul; Gray
Silver, Washington Representative of
the American Farm Bureau federation
Senator G. A. Rawson of Iowa; Sen
ator Frank b. Kellogg or Minnesota;
Representative Halvor Stevenson Of
Minnesota and Representative Will
liam Williamson Of South Dakota.
Burberry Running Wild
DR.. Stakeman of Minnesota, an au-
thority on rust, said that the bar
berry bush is becoming a wild plant
in the central west in the wheat belt.
1t was first introduced into this coun-
try as an ornamental shrub and cul-
tivated to some extent for its berries.
The colonial states found it necessary
to legislate against it because tho
spread OF rust. A survey covering ST.
68G square miles made by the depart
ment of agriculture in the western
grain states has located thus far more
than 5,S00,000 bushes. In Colorado it
found $4,000; in Illinois 1874, 000; in
Indiana $1,000; in Iowa 731.000; in
Michigan 171,0O0; in Montana $500;
in Nebraska $4,000; in North Dakota
III, 900; in South Dakota $4,000; in
Wisconsin 3,0i8,O0O and in Wyoming
1000.
