Hubam Clover. — Ccntinued from page 446 



tween 4 and 5 feet, while medium red clover under 

 exactly the same conditions made a growth of only 

 5 inches and biennial sweet clover 14 inches. 



In order to meet the widespread demand for 

 seed of this clover the Iowa Experiment Station 

 offered last spring to give small samples of seed to 

 any farmer in the United States who would Bend 

 a stamped, self-addressed envelope to carry the sam- 

 ple of seed to him. As a result over 47,000 sam- 

 ples of seed were distributed. Six or seven thou- 

 sand additional requests for seed were received, 

 but owing to the fact that no postage was enclosed 

 the seed was not sent. 



I want to call particular attention to the 

 statement above of SIX OE SEVEN THOU- 

 SAND applications for seed not only with- 

 out an addressed envelope, but without any 

 postage; and, by the way, this reminds me 

 many times down in my Florida home good 

 friends asked for seed, or something I have 

 written up, and not only omitted postage 

 which I don 't care so much about, but they 

 didn 't even send an addressed envelope or 

 postal card. Then I am obliged to hunt the 

 letter sometimes from beginning to end to 

 find out irho sent it and where they live.
