Clover Crop Fair
Lower Delaware farmers have, on
an average, harvested fairly good
crop OF scarlet clover. Because OF
the extensive campaign that has
been waged by the County Extension
Service, warming growers that there
will be scarcity of seed for sowing
next spring, most of them have
threshed the seed and are using the
hay for forage purposes. Much OF
the seed used in lower Delaware, it
was pointed out some weeks ago by
the Extension Service, comes from
Europe. Now that those countries
are war-stricken and little planting
has been done the result will be
scarcity of seeds.
Hundreds of acres of crimson clo-
yer are grown each year in Sussex
county, mostly for dairy purposes.
Some farmers turn it under to en-
rich their farms, while others grow
it for the seed to be sold on the
markets.
