SWEET CLOVER GAINS FAVOR
Enables Farmer to Grow Regular Crop and Then Secure Manure Crop to Plow Under.
The problem of the farmer has been to find a crop that was a legume to take the place of clover when it fails. With sweet clover it will be possible to grow a regular crop on the soil and then secure a heavy green manure crop the same year to plow under.
Much of the future policy of farming depends upon a cheap supply of nitrogen to build up that lost from the soil by cropping, and no other crop has given so much promise as the new annual sweet clover.
