The  N.  Y.  State  Fair 
The  New  York  State  Fair  this  year 
brought  out  great  crowds  as  usual  and 
was  a  remarkable  display  of  everything 
pertaining  to  farm  life.  Some  of  us  can 
remember  when  this  fair  travelled  about 
the  State  with  no  permanent  home  and 
exhibits  which  were  often  inferior  to  the 
larger  county  shows.  It  is  a  great  change 
from  those  pioneer  days  to  the  present 
great  exposition  housed  in  beautiful  per¬ 
manent  buildings  and  grounds  growing 
each  year  into  a  well  ordered  park. 
People  came  from  all  over  the  State  as 
usual.  In  former  years  the  railroads 
running  into  Syracuse  were  jammed  with 
local  traffic  but  in  .these  days  a  large 
proportion  of  the  visitors  come  in  cars. 
There  must  have  been  over  5,000  of 
these  cars  in  one  group  alone  near  the 
lace  track.  The  exposition  is  now  so 
large  and  comprehensive  that  it  is  im¬ 
possible  to  give  any  adequate  report  of  it. 
it  has  come  to  be  a  great  institution  well 
1  epresentative  of  the  Empire  State. 
Sweet  Clover  in  North  Dakota 
.  [There  have  been  many  statements  in 
the  papers  about  the  great  use  of  Sweet 
clover  in  the  Northwest.  The  crop  has, 
without  doubt,  been  of  great  value  to  the 
State.  Here  we  have  a  statement  of  what 
it  has  done.] 
According  to  the  best  information  that 
I  have,  based  on  estimates  made  by  the 
County  Agents  in  this  State,  and  other 
information,  the  probable  acreage  of 
Sweet  clover  in  North  Dakota  is  about 
250,000.  Probably  over  80  per  cent  of 
this  acreage  is  devoted  to  the  white  blos¬ 
som  biennial  Sweet  clover,  and  the  re¬ 
mainder  to  yellow  blossom  •beinnial  Sweet 
clover.  It  may  be  that  this  estimate  for 
the  proportion  of  yellow  blossom  Sweet 
clover  is  too  high. 
Doth  of  the  biennial  Sweet  clovers  have 
achieved  their  popularity  in  North  Da¬ 
kota  in  practically  the  last  five  or  six 
years.  They  owe  their  popularity  to  their 
remarkable  ability  to  establish  them¬ 
selves  on  weedy  land,  to  their  ability  to 
resist  drought,  to  their  cold  hardiness, 
and  to  their  ability  to  thrive  under  soil 
conditions  approximating  an  alkaline  soil. 
North  Dakota  soils  are  well  supplied 
with  lime  carbonate..  For  this  reason 
Sweet  clover  is  particularly  valuable  and 
particularly  well  adapetd  to  the  State. 
Sweet  clover  is  being  utilized  to  the 
best  advantage  when  pastured  off.  The 
crop  can  be  managed  in  the  following 
manner:  Sweet  clover  can  be  seeded  with 
the  wheat,  and  after  the  wheat  is  re¬ 
moved  the  'Sweet  clover  will  furnish  a 
small  amount  of  pasture  in  the  Fall,  and 
then  will  furnish  a  large  amount  of  pas¬ 
ture  during  the  second  season  of  its 
growth,  after  which  it  is  plowed  under  for 
a  succeeding  crop  of  corn,  potatoes  or 
small  grain.  Average  carrying  capacity 
in  eastern  half  of  State  about  two  head 
(two-year-olds)  per  acre. 
Plowing  under  Sweet  clover  in  the  Fall 
following  its  seeding  in  the  Spring  is  not 
a  safe  practice  on  account  of  the  fact  that 
the  Sweet  clover  plant  lias  formed  a  per¬ 
sistent  Winter  bud  which  will  thrust 
itself  through  the  furrow  slice  even 
though  the  plants  itself  may  have  been 
cut  off.  A  number  of  our  farmers  have 
had  some  disagreeable  experiences  due  to 
this  habit  of  the  plant,  and  have  learned 
that  the  best  time  to  kill  out  the  plant  is 
to  plow  under  in  the  late  Spring  after 
the  Winter  bud  has  started  growth,  or 
wait  until  Fall  in  the  second  year. 
Where  Sweet  clover  is  pastured  it  will 
tend  to  produce  considerable  seed ;  in 
fact,  usually  enough  to  reseed  the  ground. 
This  seed  is  hard  seed,  and  not  all  of  it 
will  germinate  the  succeeding  year ;  in 
fact,  it  may  lie  in  the  soil  for  several  sea¬ 
sons  before  all  of  it  will  finally  germinate. 
Tinder  pasturing  there  is  a  tendency  for 
the  plant  to  establish  itself  more  or  less 
permanently,  especially  if  animals  are 
kept  off  during  the  early  part  of  the  sea¬ 
son  when  the  young  plants  are  just  com¬ 
ing  from  the  seed.  H.  l.  walster.
