Extension Agent. who. working in

Superintendent of the Irrigation
Branch Experiment Sation at Pros
Ser. has secured an allotment of so
pounds of seed for this county.
This seed is at the Farmers EX-
change in Kennewick. where il can
be secured at the price of 25c a
pound. No farmer will be permit
ted to buy more than 5 pounds and
1t would be much better if il was
purchased in one-pound lots by
farmers from various parts of the
county and planted in rows with a
garden planter so that its charact-
eriSticS could be studied and seed
saved for further propagation.
This plant. instead of growing in
tall stocks like the ordinary sweet
clover, grows in a great number of
fine stems from the crown similarly
to the habit of growth of alfalfa. 1t
grows little more than knee-high
the second year and sets a great
mass of bloom. Those who saw this
crop in use as a cover crop among
young pear trees at the Field Day
at the experiment station last June
were convinced that its use as a
cover crop would be fine and also
that those who had in mind the
matter of pasturing thought we'll of
it because even though the produc-
ton would be less than the ordinary
sweet clover, the growth would be in
better shape to 60 through periods
of lessened pasturage without get
