OF Agricultural
Red clover has been styled the cor
ner stone of agriculture in the North
Central and Eastern states.
Many farmers begin laying the cor
ner stone as early as February, when
it is customary in many sections tn
sow red clover on the surface of the
snow. so that it will sink into the soil
with the first thaw in the spring. Red
clover is hardy, and is not injured by
ordinary cold and the fact that it can
be sown at a season when work on the
farm is comparatively light adds to the
economy of its cultivation.
The first important point to be oh
served is the selection of good seed.
say specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Considerable
care should be used in this respect wen
in advance of the time of seeding. This
Is particularly true at present, when
a large proportion of the red clover
seed used in the United States comes
from abroad If poor seed is used
the expected crop may be a partial
or total failure.
Good Seed Is Plump.
Good red clover seed is plump or
well filled, bright with a slight luster.
the color of individual seeds ranging
from violet to light yellow. The in
dividual seeds should be at least
medium sized and fairly uniform, free
of adulterants of any kind and from
seeds of nOXiOus weeds.
Homegrown seed is desirable. es-
peciaIly In the North, because it is al
most certain to be adapted to local
conditions If it is not available.
samples should be obtained from re-
liable dealers. These should be eX-
amined for adulterants, weed seeds,
and shriveled seeds. They should also
be tested for termination before pur-
chasing in quantity.
In the absence of more accurate
methods an estimate should he made Of
the proportion of true red clover seed
and of weed seeds and other impurities.
From the red clover seed separated

as 100, should be taken just as they
come These seeds should be placed
between layers of moistened cloth or
paper or merely covered in a bed Of
sand or light soil. A dinner plate,
covered with another, is a suitable
terminating receptacle. 1t can be kept
in the living room, at a temperature
between 60 and So degrees. Between
the third and sixth days the sprOuting
ability of the seeds should be shown.
1t should be borne in mind that the
sowing value of the seed is represented
by the amount of true clover which will
terminate with reasonable prOmptness.
Thus, if four-fifths of a sample is pure
clover, and only four-ifths will
sprout, then only three-fifths, or so
