OTHER EXPERIMENTS IN WHICH CLOVER NO. 16 WAS INCLUDED. 



In addition to the Northwestern States already mentioned, to 

 whose conditions the hairless clover seems best adapted and where 

 its performance has been described in some detail, this form was also 

 grown in the following sections: 



(1) In Ohio, in cooperation with the Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, on the farm of Mr. E. D. Mclntyre, near Wooster. The 

 work here was under the direction of Prof. C. E. Thorne, director of 

 the station. 



(2) In Canada, on the farm of the Ontario Agricultural College 

 and Experiment Station. The work here was done under the imme- 

 diate direction of Prof. C. A. Zavitz, experimentalist. 



(3) In Indiana, in cooperation with Mr. Theo. H. Reed, on the 

 farm of Mr. L. B. Harris, near Rushville, Rush County. This county 

 is in the heart of the heaviest clover-seed-producing section in the 

 United States and, according to the census of 1900, produced more 

 clover seed than any county in the country. 



At Wooster the Orel clover gave one of the highest yields, while 

 at Rushville it produced one of the poorest crops of all the varieties 

 tested, which was probably due to the fact that it was harvested 

 before maturing. Although its forage qualities and botanical char- 

 acters were identical with those exhibited at other stations, this 

 variety does not seem to be particularly adapted to the conditions 

 existing in Ohio and Indiana.
