SANDERS J Forty farmers from Person County made a trip to Alamance County last Thursday. to visit ft lew dairy farms and other pH?ces of interest. The first stop in the county was at Mr. Ai ?dtidge's farm on road fto! ?2 where Mr, W. Kerr Scott met the crotod and : jshowed: the .party a large field of Al falfa belonging to Mr. Trolltngei\ and a large field of sweet clover seeded this Spring by Mr. Aldridge. This clover was seeded on oat land last February, about fifty bushels of oats wtre cut .per acre., and at this time, the sweet. Clover. is more than knee high and about ready ter cut for hay Messrs.- Scott arid Aldridge made , it, plaih that.: sweet, clover can be grown if . innoculated and a :on per acre of.limestone is put en the land before feeding _tinu\' preferably in the fall... After beine cut this fall, the clover will make another crop of hay next Spring or if not cut. will go to seed. Many?farmers oil the first crop of sweet clover for hay and turn the growth, the following spring to make torn. These men in Alamance stated that sweet! clover will make your l^ml look lifire bottom ^lat^d if lime is ap plied and the <ie.d mnoculated. This < lovor .3 L'luwirm oil i.ed iiuimi'U land, and Mr Aldridge told, the party that he failed" with sweet clover the first year presumably because He'. <iid riot mnoculat^ -the . seed ajul.did not use , limestone He did both this year and ha a plendid crop on the land, * . ' Sweet clover is a . first .cousin of al falfa. is just us, good in feeding/value, and ;ill.know that alfala is equivalent to wheat bran as a feed.
