“MAMMOTH” (Sapling) CLOVER 
This year, more acres may be sown to Mammoth 
Clover (sometimes called Sapling). It makes a heav- 
ier top growth than regular Red Clover. Is preferred 
for the poorer, more sandy soils. Just one crop of 
hay can be harvested in a season, since it does not 
recover quickly. On the other hand, Mammoth is 
generally longer lived than is the regular Red Clover. 
That may account for its presence in many pasture 
mixtures. Cultural methods are generally the same. 
SWEET CLOVER (3 Types) 
A great soil builder. When turned under, adds much 
organic matter. Improves water-holding capacity of 
soil. Also provides emergency pasture till other 
' grazing areas are ready. Has been used to cover 
bare spots—thicken the stands on thin pastures . . . 
using 5 to 10 pounds with 15 pounds of Rye Grass. 
“YELLOW BLOSSOM” TYPE 
Aggressive, hardy. In many cases, can be profitably 
substituted for the usually higher-priced White 
Sweet Clover. Has gained in Eastern use. 
A perennial, with a smaller top growth than the 
white blossom strains. Grows 2 to 8 feet the first 
year, higher the second. Finer stems; many prefer it. 
MOSTLY “WHITE BLOSSOM” TYPE 
Lasts 2 years. Planted in the spring, will make 
good growth by fall. Will reseed itself if left stand- 
ing. Practice in the Central States is to sow it in the 
late summer. Thus, does not get too large a root 
system before the following spring . . . makes not- 
too-large plants, furnishing quite good hay. 
“‘“HUBAM” (White Blossom) Annual. 
Developed in Iowa. Lives but 1 year. Resembles 
the biennial in appearance, except in plant size—it 
produces less growth. Where a catch crop is wanted, 
especially when the field is to be fall plowed, Hubam 
is useful. Supplies good spring pasture under favor- 
able moisture conditions. 
HOW MUCH HAY IN THE MOW? 
About 500 cubic feet of well-settled hay, or about 700 of 
new-mown hay will make a ton. Ten cubic yards of meadow 
hay weighs about a ton. 8 or 9 yards out of an old stack 
is about a ton. 11 or 12 cubic yards of clover, when dry, 
will make a ton.
