Show Clovers Valuable Forage Plants. Director Brooks of the Massachusetts Massachu-setts station says of the clovers: "For four important reasons the clovers are among the most valuable forage plants : First, the manurial cost of their production Is exceptionally low; second, sec-ond, they are richer In protein than most of the forage crops far richer' than the grasses; third,- they enrich the soil in nitrogen as well as subsoil sub-soil it, so that the following crops are almost invariably good; fourth, in permanent mowings they ultimately so enrich the soil in nitrogen that the grasses as well as the clovers make vigorous growth. |
