pasture during the early summer then let it grow back and take a seed 
crop or cut it for hay when in early bloom. The large, deep penetrating 
root system adds organic matter to the soil and aerates heavy land.

* years from raising cash grain crops. Sweet Clover will restore the fer- 
tility faster than any crop we know. The profits derived from a good 
crop of Sweet Clover in the form of increased production and added fer- 
tility are far greater than applica- 
tions of commercial fertilizers. Be- 
cause Sweet Clover is high in protein some farm- 
ers are dehydrating it and mixing with dry feed
