Sweet Clover Superior
as Soil Improving Crop

Sweet clover actually. makes three
kernels grow where one grew before
according to farmers with thin land
who have tried this legume for soil
improvement.
One Of the many examples Of the
value Of sweet clover for this purpose
on record at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college Is that Of John Fry Of
independence.
A number OF years ago he realized
that he couldn't produce wheat profit
ably In Montgomery county with q
yield Of eight bushels to the acre.
He heard Of sweet clover and began
to grow It for soil improvement pur-
poses, where formerly he had been
harvesting eight bushels Of wheat to
the acre. In 1921 he produced 20
bushels 70 the acre, In 1922. 221k bush
els, and In 1928 he produced 10 bush
els to the acre. Alr. Fry has grown
sweet clover since 1912. He says 1t is
the greatest pasture crop for horses
and viii carry three to four head Of
cattle per acre. He believes from the
standpoint Of soil fertility sweet clover
is the best crop that can be raised IL
that section.
