In long season areas it may be sown with oats for hay, grazing and 
soil building. In the short season areas it provides grazing and soil 
building after oat harvest, thereby preparing land for fall seeding 
of grain. Row planting gives same returns in soil building, and 
grazing as broadcast planting. 
Hubam Clover discourages the spread and growth of root-rot in 
cotton fields. It builds up the soil to the extent that better crops 
are produced the second year than the first. In long season areas 
there is sufficient soil building after the crop matures in July to 
grow a fall crop of sudan and sorghums. Then a crop of oats, 
corn, cotton or other crops may be grown to advantage the follow- 
ing spring without injury to the soil and loss of high yields. 
In Irrigated Regions 
Hubam can be planted and plowed under when young to pre- 
pare a mellow, loamy, seed bed for vegetable crops. In warm 
weather it makes rapid growth to plow under, quickly decaying. 
Even very young plants develop long roots. 
For Citrus Orchards 
Hubam was early recognized as a soil building crop and for 
protection to the young trees in early spring. The tall growth when 
plowed under will supply eight to twelve tons of green manure 
per acre. 
For Grazing Sheep 
For late spring and early summer no other clover crop thus far 
has been found more useful. ‘The long season of growth and feed 
value keep sheep in excellent flesh long after other grazing crops 
have matured. 
For Dairy Cows 
As it furnishes abundant and rich grazing, it may be planted 
several times early and late to take advantage of young vigorous 
leafy growth, for increasing milk production and maintaining 
health of the animals. 
For Beef Cattle and Horses 
Many ranchers and farmers depend on it for the long ex- 
tended period of grazing, and the body-building minerals furnished 
with less mineral and protein supplementary feeds needed. 
In the Nitrogen Cycle 
The penetrating power of the root enables Hubam to improve 
the soil texture and the bacteria which live in the nodules fix the 
free nitrogen of the air into available plant food. When _ these 
bacteria are not naturally present, the correct culture for Hubam 
may be easily and inexpensively mixed with the seed before sowing. 
The nitrogen which the bacteria are supplying gives plants rich
