A Rotation With Sweet Clover 
I read Datus C. Smith’s article, 
“North Dakota Politics in New York,” 
on page 188. I have been watching the 
fiirmers in that Stiite for the past two 
years, in their efforts to “do something,” 
I and nothing pleased me more than to see 
that they w'cre successful in the election 
last Fall. The farmers supply the food 
for the rest of the world, and if they do 
not unite and fight for living prices on 
what they only can prodiic*e it is their 
own fault. 
C. C. J., Wayne Co., N. Y., page 180, 
asks for a suitable rotation for his farm. 
Let me suggest one that will double the 
value of his farm in five or six years. 
After deducting the number of acres in 
orchard, pasture and buildings from his 
70 acres, stake off the remainder in four 
eipial lots as follows: No. 1, potatoes: 
No. 2, oats with white Sweet clover, 
Timothy and Red-top; No. 3, Sweet 
clover hay and seed; No. 4, Timothy 
and Red-top to be plowed in the Fall 
for potatoes. The Timothy .sod should 
always be plowed in the Fall; then it 
will he partially decomposed by potato 
planting time. Whatever complete fer¬ 
tilizer, if any, is used, should be applied 
on the potato ground at planting time. 
After the i)otatoes are dug tho ground 
should be disked (not plowed) a couple 
of times, and it is ready for the oats and 
seed. Many farmers in the We.st are 
sowing their oats and grass seed very 
late in the Fall, so late that there is no 
chance for germination before Spring 
(fiome tinie ia Ndveiner) ; then as soon 
as tho first mild days of Spring arrive it 
will C(Hne up and he ahead of the w'eeds 
and the Sweet clover wdll soon get such 
a start that will smother out all weeds. 
In answer to the query of II. L, 
Adams, I’ennsylvania, on page 188, I 
will say that Sweet clover will smother 
out quack grass better and quicker than 
anything else yet he.nrd of. Sow not 
over 11/^ bushel of oats per acre; you 
■will get just as good :i crop, and it will 
be far better for the clover and grass 
which is to follow. The Sweet clover 
grows so rapidly that at least one-third 
of yoiir oat straw will be Sweet clover. 
Then you can feed every pound of your 
oat straw, as yoiir .stock of every kind 
will like the clover so well that they will 
eat the straw with it. After yon have 
drilled in your oats sow 10 lbs. Sweet 
clover, 12 lbs. Timothy and .3 lbs. of 
Red-top, 25 lbs. in all to the aci’e, mixed 
together on the top of the ground. Then 
roll with a heavy roller and you are done. 
About October 1 you can cut a good 
crop of Sweet clover Imy from the oat 
ground. The next Summer, in .Tune, 
you will cut a heavy croj) of Sweet 
clover hay and a crop of seed in Septem¬ 
ber. The first season the October crop 
of Sweet clf>ver can be cut down to the 
ground. The June cutting the second 
year slum d he cut ith 0-inch stubble. 
After the seed is gathered the second 
year it should be cut again with the 
mower down to the ground, so as to have 
it sm(u>th for the ’I’imothy and Red-top 
the ni'xt year. The Sweet clover roots 
which die and become a part of the soil 
at the erd of the second ja-ar are said to 
be equal in value to 15 loads of manure, 
and as it contains more jiroteiii or nitro¬ 
gen than any other known legume you 
will get an immense crop of Timothy and 
Red-top the next year. 
All manure from the farm as well as 
any rock phosphate or ground limestone 
used in the rotation, if any, should be 
applied only on the potato ground be¬ 
fore disking for oats. Sweet clover con¬ 
tains more protein than any other clover 
or Alfalfa, and four times more than 
Timothy, and yet Timothy and Rod-top 
bring the highest price on the market; 
therefore sell your hay and feed your 
clover. One acre of Sweet clover pas¬ 
ture will carry two head of milch cow.s 
or two horses. Y'our farm, if this rota¬ 
tion i.s followed, ought to carry two 
horses. 10 cows and .some young stock, 
and as you do not have to feed grain with 
Sweet clover hay you can sell your pota- 
toe.s. Timothy hay and oats and Sweet 
clover seed and your cows •will keep 
your farm and give you about 300 loads 
of manure for your oat ground each year.
