Ikes Sf Clover According to the Farm Bulletin: Sweet clover was a failure on tho Duncan McDonald farm In ins, as a result of drowth, but Mr. Mc Donald determined to try the crop a second time and seeded a con siderable ncreaage In 1U27. He secured considerable pasture from the 1927 planting during the latter part of the season. Approximately two weeks ago he reported as fol lows on his 1928 results: "My live stock are unable to keep up with the growth of the sweet clover pas ture. For three weeks I have had 91 ewes with their lambs, three cows and the work horses atnlght on a field of eight and one-halt acres. During this time the stock have been unable to k,eep up with. lev VaUrjp Km Editor the clover and the growth Is larger now thatt it was when 1 turned them in." Air.

That was just three score and five years ago.
