The dairyman made this an nouncement after gathering suf ficient data from approximately 50 demonstration plots seeded to crimson clover late last fall In Piedmont and Western North Ca rolina. Commenting on this Innova tion. Farnham said: “This prac tice is of utmost importance to all livestock growers, especially dairy farmers. It will mean a legume soil builder that thrives during the cool weather and pro vides one of the best grazin? plants for dairy cows. At the same time, no off flavors will be transmitted to the milk.’’ Farnham pointed out the ex perience of the McKeever dairy farm In McDowell county as a good example of what can he done with the practice.
