Un account of its extremely rapid growth soUn may be made very productive within a abort time. The deep rooting habit of this crop makes possible the ultimate utilisation of in ert mineral plant food* gathered from the lower soil stratae The Ohio Ex periment Station estimates the value of a crop of sweet clover as follows: Tak ing 0700 pounds per acre aa the total dry weight of roots and top, the pounds of plant nutrients contained therein hae been estimated as follows: Nitrogen, 100 pouuds; phosphorous, 23; sulfur, 10; potassium, 71; calcium, 22 and magnesium, 17. « Data gathered from different sources indicate a marked superiority of bien nial white sweet clover' over Hubam sweet clover as a noil improver. The termer is a more rapid grower and has much greater capacity for root develop ment. Hutiaui makes more top growth the first year than the biennial, but thia top growth contains a much lowcf per centage of nitrogen than the biennial. The biennial makes a root growth many times us large as that of Hubam, and the nitrogen content of Hubam roots is much lower than that of the biennial, Hubam I n by no means equal to the biennial. The biennial white sweet clover should not be allowed to grow for two years in the orchard? It should be plowed or disked under in spring after considerable growth has taken place. At that time it is killed out quickly and its nitrogen content is higher than at any subsequent date. Plowing under the crop when green makes possible its rapid decomposition. Information now available Indicates that much of the abundant top growth during the second Negson is merely the transposition of food stored in the large root system during the previous season. Where this crop is left two full seasons, the percentage of nitrogen in the tops is reduced from approximately three and one-half per cent to about two per cent and the root system fails to make fur ther development. In fact, as much as two-thirds of the entire root. system has been found in the first four inches of soil at the end of the second season. In closing, we urge a more general use of this crop. i < ———1 ——— : wirk...,** I (By Gordon O.
