Show Sweet Clover Gracing Most Profitable For Dairymen On soils that contain lime the most productive grazing crop known today is sweet clover, according to the experts in forage crops in the United States Department of Agriculture. They point out that a good stand of second-season second-season sweet clover can carry two head H of cows per acre from early spring until un-til mid-summer and cases are known n where four head did not keep it down. u Get the stock in early, they advise, " when the clover is six inches high and put cattle enough on to keep it from blosoming: with only one cow to an acre the clover gets old too fast. For continuous grazing, they point out, two fields of sweet clover are necessary, nec-essary, one that has just passed its first winter and one starting its first season's growth. Turn cattle on the older field in the spring and keep them there until July 15-30. By this time the sweet clover will bloom and gets too woody to be palatable and the clover on the new field should be 6 to 8 inches high. The new clover will carry only about half the stock the old field carried, and allowance must be made for that by having double the acreage or by having other pasture. An excess acreage in the fall is not a bad thing, as any field not needed for grazing the next season sea-son can be turned under the next spring for com with great benefit to the corn. After grazing stops on the older field the clover will make considerable growth and this can be plowed undei' in the fall with great benefit to any succeeding crop. There is less danger from bloat with sweet clover than with other clovers, but cases have been known, and the usual precautions should be taken.
