Long considered a weed, sweet
clover has been discovered to be one
of the most valuable plants the farm
er can grow. H a farmer wants a
crop which will keep up the fertility,
furnish good hay and pasture, that
will grow where nothing else does,
early in the spring, late in the fall,
on alkali, wet, dry, stony or gumbo
spots—he should try sweet clover.
Sweet clover is a biennial legume,
somewhat resembling alfalfa, except
that it has a white or yellow com
pound blossom. The white variety
is preferable to the yellow.
Sweet clover hay, cut early enough
and properly cured, makes nearly as
good hay as alfalfa. And sweet clo
ver with its deep root system and its
large roots capable of penetrating a
relatively hard subsoil, is an even
greater soil builder than alfalfa. One
acre of sweet clover, plowed under,
has the same fertilizing value as 25
tons of average farm manure. Even
when the crop is taken for hay or
pasture, the roots as they decay
greatly increase fertility, and by bor
ing deep into subsoil also increase
its moisture holding capacity.
The following important facts con
cerning sweet clover are worth bear
ing in mind:
1. AS PASTURE—Sweet clover
is superior to clover or alfalfa, be
cause it never bloats stock, and they
like it just as well, after they get
used to It. Although It lasts only
two years, it will reseed itself if not
pastured too soon. Will grow on
nearly all soils, but requires a hard
seed bed. Hence can be seeded on
old pasture, on burns, cutover lands,
and stubble fields. Produces earlier
pasture its second year than other
crops do. If sown two years in suc-
cession, will reseed itself annually
and produce permanent pasture.
2. HAY—Will produce a crop at
end of first season, and two to three
crops the second. First cutting the
second year should be about June
1st. It must be cut early, before it
grows too large and coarse. It must
also be cut with a high stubble, or
the plants may be killed.
3. AS SILAGE — Sweet clover
thoroughly chopped and packed,
makes excellent silage. One stock-
man tested it for fattening beef cat
tle. Two year old steers were fed
all this silage. For a grain ration,
they were given 10 pounds barley
per day. In 16 days, one steer gain
ed 140 pounds, or 8% pounds per
day. Stock sometimes refuses to eat
sweet clover at first, but they ' soon
learn to like it, and then will take it
In preference to other clovers. Hogs
make larger gains and dairy cows
give more milk on sweet clover pas
ture.
Sweet clover may be sown at any
time of the year, late fall, winter or
early spring. The seed is very hard
and germinates better if soaked and
frozen. To improve pasture, a light
seeding should be made on the last
snow In the spring. For spring sow
ing scarified seed is the best—since
the scrotching of the seed coat makes
it germinate quickly. The earlier in
spring sweet clover is sown, the bet
ter. To insure best success, it should
be inoculated.
4. AS SOIL BUILDER—Sweet
clover will smother out nearly all
kinds of weeds. It will grow on soils
too low or wet. too alkaline, too
hard, stony or dry to grow clover or
alfalfa. By opening up these soils
to air and water, and by adding hu-
mus and nitrogen, it improves these
soils so that other crops can grow
thereon. Sweet clover also inoculates
the ground for alfalfa, so that the
latter will succeed where it would
not before.
