MINNESOTA CLOVER. 



The Arena, published at Brainerd, 

 Minn., advises the farmers as follows: 



In this section of the state, where red clover 

 can be grown «o easily, It would be well to 

 pay more attention to the raising of seed for 

 market. There Is no part of the state where 

 the plant can be grown to such perfection as 

 central Minnesota, and the seed from clover 

 Krown here is of superior quality, as was evi- 

 denced when such seedsmen as Nortbrnp, King 

 & Co., of Minneapolis, pronounced seed shipped 

 to them by J. R. Smith, of this place, the 

 finest they ever saw. There has been no means 

 of threshing the seed, that raised by Mr. Smith 

 having been threshed by an ordinary threshing 

 machine, which is wasteful at the best. The 

 ordinary yield of seed per acre from the common 

 red clover is about five bushels, which at the 

 average price of selling places it above the yield 

 of wheat as a money maker, and the farmers of 

 a community could club together and purchase a 

 huller, which could be run after the fall work 

 of the farm is finished. The price charged for 

 hulling by men who own machines is |1 per 

 bushel. Wheat at $1 per bushel, which is far 

 above the average price, even though the yield 

 obtained were twenty bushels per acre, is vastly 

 inferior in value to a field of clover which will 

 thresh out five bushels of seed per acre, and. 

 when the coet of growing the two is compared. 

 the clover stands alone In a class by itself and 

 the threshed straw Is valuable for stock feed- 

 ing. 



DES MOINES. lA. 



The Iowa Seed Co. has just completed 

 the erection of two new greenhouses 

 and is building five more at Thirtieth 

 and Kingman boulevard. The company 

 is also constructing an immense seed 

 warehouse at Altoona adjoining the in- 

 terurban railway, for the storing of 

 grain raised there. The new warehouse 

 will have a storage capacity of 25,000 

 bushels. The company owns a large 

 farm near Altoona and also rents some 

 land, so that altogether about 800 acres 

 of land are used. 



"We are making Altoona our growing 

 point for field seeds," said Chas. N, 

 Page. "After experimenting in many 

 sections of the state we have learned that 

 Altoona and vicinity is the best point 

 in the state to grow grain, especially 

 corn. Take it year after year the land 

 about Altoona produces the best crops 

 of any section I know about."
