CLOVER MAY BE CUT THIS FALL Experiments Find No Harm Done To Clover Stand By Fall Cutting Farmer* tn Indian* »hu*e spring seedings of red clover ant now blooming are waking Purdue University agronomist* it ibe Brat year's growth can be harvested for bay or seed without danger of injury to the stand or neat year's growth. In previous years when the con- ■ dltlons were favorable to making growths of red clover similar to those of this year, it was the experience of farmers who harvested seedings that good crops of red hay or seed crops from spring clover were harvested the year following in spite of the fall cutting. Under the most severe winter | conditions some loss of stand might occur following such hay or seed • harvesting that did uot show Up In other years. Experimental teats eoadacted by the Illinois Agricultural Expert- “ nienl Station on the effect of fall clipping was summarised a* follows in a recent annual report; "Ovur a period of years clipping of red clover early in September has increased seed yields about SO per cent and hay yields 25 per cent the following year." During a |mrt of this cxperimen- I tai work the clover was cut In I three different stage*, the rosette

or before bloom stage, blossoming stage and seed stage It was fell i that plants that had reached the Weed stage had become too weak | to withstand th* winter and that J mowing to keep them from going to seed would prevent winter killI Ing. To a certain extent this was 1 born* out by the results, because the clover thal had reached the seed stage showed a higher proportion of winter killing than clover cut in the earlier stages. How over, in apltc of heavier winter killing the stand wus reasonably good the following spring. Aside from Increasing hay and seed yields by early September clipping it was also found that the dense uumowed fall growth was heavily infested with field mice the following spring.’ and liesidc* the damage from burrows and runways, the mice kept the < town* of the red clover plants eaten close to the ground. Although the growth of dbw clover Is excellent, the stands in tnAuy case* are rather thia Whether it will be profitable to harvest these new seedings as a seed crop will depend upon how heavily the seed sets, and the difficulty of handling weed growth commonly found iu 'clover this year. It appears safe, iu view of past experience, to recommend < lipping new seedings of red < lover In late August or early September In Central Indiana and to point out that taking the seed crop, if feasible aud profitable, will not I necessarily cause undue winter killing. —- " o—--500 Sheets B*4xll Sunrise Canary Secund Sheets, neatly' wrapped 35c.
