Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 185, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 August 1910 — Some Fine Clover Grown on Mrs. Lowe’s Wisconsin Farm. [ARTICLE]

Some Fine Clover Grown on Mrs. Lowe’s Wisconsin Farm.

Mrs. Mary E. Lowe sent to the Republican office from her farm in Wisconsin a sample of clover grown there. It consists of one bunch of thirty stems on a single root and the stalks are from 3to 3t£ feet in length. Mrs. Lowe writes: ."Under separate cover am sending you by mail a sample of clover grown on my land; the seed having been sown in April following the forest fires of September, 1908. The seed was sown on the bare ground without any cultivation whatever. You can understand what the results would be if thoroughly cultivated when sown. Mljj Lefler has fine corn and a good garden. Crops and pastures suffered very much from the drouth cutting them short. There had been but little rain since the spring rains, until the 23rd and 26th of the present month, when we had fine rains, breaking the drouth and putting out the forest fires, which were quite serious. They did not quite reach Mr. Lefler’s or my timber. There was a good deal of damage done, more in Michigan than in this section of Wisconsin. Receive paper alright.”
