SENDS SAMPLE OF WISCONSIN CLOVER

Mrs.- Mary E. Lowe, who is looking after her real estate interests and visiting Mr. and Mrs. James Lefler, just across the river, in Wisconsin, from Koss, Miah., writes The Democrat as follows: Rose. Mich., July 29. Jasper Co. Democrat: —Ain sending you a sample of clover grown on my land that has been burned over. The seed was 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 put in by proper cultivation.

Crops and pastures have suffered very much by drouth cutting them short. There had been bat little rain since the spring rains until tue 23d and 26th mat, when we had Sne rains, breaking the drouth and potting out the forest fires. There wa? much damage done by the fires. More across the state line in Michigan than in thw + section of Wisconsin. . Mr. Letter has fine corn and a good garden. He kept up cultivation during the dry weather and the late rains have made everything look fine, showing that cultivation, if the sun does shine hot, is better than waiting for the rain. It brings better results anyway when it doe? rain. Mr. Lefler and wife are well. _ MARY E. LOWE. The stalks of clover sent measured three feet and six in length, and is as fine as one ever saw.
