Sweet Glover Sowing

Where winter wheat is grown an
excellent way to obtain stand Of
sweet clover is to sow unscaritied or
even unhulled seed ON the wheat
about the middle Of February It Is
not advisable tc sew any kind Of
sweet clover seed earlier than this
date, because it is likely to terminate
during warm period of weather in
mid-winter and the seedlings be kill
ed by later freezing weather. On the
other hand, unscarified seed should
not be planted much later than the
middle Of February or it win fail TO
come mp that season. One advantage
of sowing in February is that il one
does not get stand there Is still
time to SOW some scarified seed in
March or early April. Scariticd seed
is seed that has had the hard coat
scratched so it will terminate more
readily.
