ter. Improves water-holding capacity of 
the soil.

Clover is to cover bare spots—to thicken 
the stands on thin pastures. Use 15 lbs. 
Rye Grass with 5 to 10 lbs. Sweet 
Clover. 
This valuable legume may have been 
overlooked by too many folks. Wide 
areas in Central West sow it on 
thousands of acres. Great as emergency 
hay. Illinois folks advise that if sweet» 
clover is sown in the late summer, it 
won't get too large a root system before 
the following spring—hence will make 
not-too-large plants that are dependable 
for quite good hay. If cut in time, before 
getting too heavy in the stem, has filled 
the emergency hay role very accept- 
ably. Sweet clover furnishes great acre- 
ages of pasture in the Central states.

standing. Provides emergency pasture 
till other grazing areas are ready.

Like the white-blossom strains, this 
yellow-blossom type is a perennial.
