Show the saLinA clover, cows, and another ton per acre, is the title of a splendid article by Howard Rienks, an expert on diversified farming, appearing in a late issue of Through The The article has to do with Leaves. the success of John Weigandt, Jr., operating near La Salle, Colorado, and tells of a dairy herd on a three-acr- e field of sweet clover and how a 18,000 Holstein produced prize pounds of milk in twelve months, with an average test of 3.3 per cent and with a total yearly production of 608 pounds of butter fat. The possibilities are equally as good in this section to repeat what the progressive Colorado farmer has accomplished by well selected herds. The article by Mr. Rienks will be of interest he:e and follows: Mr. Weigandt has been farming his place for the past eight years. James A. Stewart, who owns the farm, is also interested in other fairms and is actively engaged as a merchant in La Salle. These men started in the dairy business on a small scale and gradually have built up a fine herd of grade and registered Holsteins. They realized that the most economical way to build up a poor farm, and this farm was in that class eight years ago, was by combining dairying with general farming. When Mr. Weigandt started eight years ago he raised 25 acres of beets which, .produced 8 tons per acre. By feeding the alfalfa and all other feeds raised on the farm and by buying other feeds from the outside he obtained plenty of fertilizer. He has gradually ' raised his tonnage year by year until in 1925, under bad weather conditions, he raised 27 acres of beets which produced 14 tons per acre. In 1926 on approximately 30 acres of beets he raised an average of 16 tons per acre. Last year Mr. Weigandt sowed some sweet clover along with other field. pasture grasses on a Due to the dry season, he lost his stand of sweet clover after it was two months old. He determined to try it again this year and seeded two fields, one of three acres and another of 15 acres. Roth fields were seeded on February 25. On the three-acr- e field, which was in grain last year, he seeded 18 pounds of scarf fied seed to the acre and used 45 pounds of oats as a nurse crop for the sweet clover. The field was pastured last year and he seed ed 10 pounds of seed per acre without any nurse crop. He used a press drill in seeding. The stand is excellent on both, fields, the heavier seeding of 18 pounds apparently not being necessary. Both fields were seeded in the .hard ground without any previous preparation of the seed itfjui Surt, ALwa, rv " Sweet modem age puts THIS age tried Camels and placed them first. .

Previous to starting in on the pasture, the same herd of stock was consum ing eight tons of alfalfa hay monthly, costing $12 per ton delivered to the farm or a total of $96 per month for hay alone. In addition to the hay, he was feeding the cows at that time eight pounds daily of a mixture of equal parts of ground oats, ground barley and com chop. Since starting on the pasture, no hay is being fed and the same grain ration as above is being used and the milk has increased since turning the stock on the sweet clover pasture.
