(The following Is Circular 77 of the Oregon Agricultural College Ex tension Senrice, on "Clover for West ern Oregon the author being Geo. B. Hyslop, professor of farm crops: ) There Is no leguminous crop which Fire as good a return per acre in the form of bay or seed and which at the same time contributes so much to the upbuilding ol tbe coil of Western Oregon as does red clover or alsike clover. On any soil that Is reason ably deep, fairly mellow, and well drained, tbe red clover Is quite likely to be successful. It does best on the soils that are free from acid, but it is also a very successful crop on many soils that are rather sour. For the low, wet, heavy soils, such as the white lands and similar heavy, poor ly drained type, the alsike clover Is considerably better than the red. The difficulty which most farmers experience with the crop is in getting it started. There are very few farms of Western Oregon, that do not have soil that is adapted to one or the other of these types ot clover, but in many cases it. Is rather hard to get a stand. Clover responds well to lib eral use of barnyard manure. This is especially. Important on land in poor physical condition, as it makes suc cessful starting ot the crop more easy. Where barnyard manure Is not available, ' the plowing in of green manure gets good results. It the fer tility of the soil is poor, an applica tion ot 25 to 30 pounds per acre of land plaster early in March, either before or after seeding, is a great help. In sections of the state where clover has not been previously grown, it will be well to secure cul ture from the Department ot Bacteri ology of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege and inoculate the clover seed. The methods for seeding red clover and alsike clover are identical, ex cept that different quantities of seed are used. Twelve pounds of red clov er seed is usually sown per acre; and eight pounds ot the atslke seed is ordinarily used. The following meth ods have been repeatedly tried out with success: First: On well drained hill lands that are not heaved by freezing and thawing, clover may be seeded at the same time that fall wheat, oats, or barley is planted. The method used is to broadcast the seed ahead of the grain drill either by hand or from the small seed box attachment to the train drill. The furrow openers of the drill serve to cover th t other cases, it Is simply broadcasted auer me arming is done and the fall rains are depended upon to beat it into the soil. This method is often unsuccessful because of periods of freezing and thawing which heave the small clover plants entirely out of the soil. However,, there is always an opportunity to reseed in the spring. Second: Clover la freniienflv ed on fall wheat, oats, barley, or oats and vetch, from the middle to the latter part Of February h ilm. ply broadcasting the seed over the full stand is deft red. especially if It is to be used for pasturing purposes.

In case the seeding Is delayed until a somewhat later peri od, it is better to use method No. 4. sowing with barley, usually some time in April, in the same manner as Is done with oats under method No. 3. However, if your soil is likely to dry out and It is getting somewhat late in the season, it Is best to use beardless barley, as this otfers less competition to the clover. Fifth: This method Is adapted to a farm where a considerable amount of sheep or hog pasture is needed. It consists of broadcasting about five pounds ot rape together with the February. Mrch or April.

It grain or vetch field whenever the sou is in the proper condition. In case the surface is lightly frozen, the seed may be simply broadcasted on the frozen land, and the thawing will serve to get it sufficiently covered for germination. If the land is dry enough for cultivation, the clover seed should be broadcasted and har rowed in lightly.. This will not only cover the seed but will be beneficial to the cereal crop. In many cases, however, it is inadvisable to harrow the vetch. In case the spring growth ot the cereal or vetch begins, it is necessary to get the clover seeded as promptly as possible, even though the neia oe somew&at soft and no har rowing is possible. In such case, the rain usually beats in enough of the seed to secure a stand. The seeding must take place by the last week in February or very early in March, be- iore tne spring growth begins, lest the cereal smother out the clover. Third: Clover is frequently seeded with various types of early spring grain, in March or April. Usually spring oats or spring wheat is seeded at this time, and the clover is broad casted ahead ot the drill. This meth od is very satisfactory with both wheat and oats if the seeding takes clover seed over the field about the ,Jh!t,?!?ln ?Jh,?, Jt". middle to the latter part ot April and J lh J'Jf V"?

It seems to thrive especially on the wettest land, but does well on high dry land. It is a plant or Asiatic origin, but has been grown in various parts of this country for many years. The last few jvars has seen a very large demand from all parts of the United States for the seed. - At the present time, most of the seed is grown in Idaho and Utah and has proven a very profitable crop, as it is an abundant yielder and a sure crop.
