rank growth of clover or some other similar crop will usually accomplish 

 this. 



When a farmer begins to experience failure with clover, he should 

 avoid jumping at conclusions and saying that any one factor is the 

 cause. It is a broad field for him to think upon and to work out, and 

 one indeed in which there are many factors to be considered. My own 

 investigations so far may very probably have only touched a few of the 

 most important of them. I am glad, however, for the opportunity of 

 submitting these observations to the farmers of ^Missouri, in the hope 

 that it may arouse a greater interest and more careful thought on their 

 part, and thus develop on their own farms and under their own local 

 conditions further solutions of the many problems in connection with 

 this extremely important crop. I thank you for your kind attention.
