though M. alba were to play a prominent part 

 every farm in the United States, both where alfall 

 is grown and where red and alsike are depended on. 

 Much good has come from Henry A, Wallace's visit 

 to my field last fall, and that is why he recommends 

 its use as a pasture-plant, and the coming summer 

 I hope to demonstrate its value as a superior hay 

 crop, just as I have done as a superior pasture-legume. 



THE YELLOW VAEIETY PROMISES WELL. 



I am harboring a strong hope that the yellow varie- 

 ty may prove to be of great value to sow iii the corn 

 at the last plowing, and then to be pastured the fol 

 lowing season or be plowed under the last half of 

 May. If this proves to be good it will mean more to 

 the corn-belt farmer than anything of the kind that 

 was ever brought to light. That is why I want this 

 yellow seed Yellow sweet clover grows two feet 

 high here by the 16th of May, and could be turned 

 under; and what a fertilizer it would make, and all in 

 time to plant to corn! or if sown with timothy it 

 would make a splendid pasture; or knock down the 

 stalks, and with a binder cut it for seed. It is a 

 proven fact that sweet clover is the best to feed to 

 stock, and that it contains more of the essentials than 

 any other cloyer. Doesn't the future look bright for 

 sweet clover? Frank Coverdale.

YELLOW SWEET CLOVER IN KANSAS, ETC. 



Yellow sweet clover commenced to bloom here the 

 last week in April. It is in full bloom now, and all 

 kinds of stock like it. As for pasture, sown with 

 alfalfa it prevents bloat. All missed places and alkali 

 spots I sow with it. I have four acres of it. I think 

 it is next to alfalfa for pasture and forage crop. I 

 sowed a bushel of alsike for pasture this spring — the 

 first I have tried. I put it on bottom land. They say 

 it does better there than on upland. The yellow sweet 

 clover does not grow as rank as the white, and mak^i 

 better pasture. John W. WiLSONJf
