Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ... A. I., I send you a picture out of Centralblatt to show you how sweet clover grows in the German language. It was windy when the picture was taken, so the plants don't show as well as they might; but Herr Reepen says the average height of the stalks back of the man and boy is 9 feet 10 inches, and the one stalk that Herr Wegener is holding in his hand is 10 feet 8 inches high. But what I wanted you more particularly to notice is the growth of the potatoes this side of the man and boy. Those in the foreground, as you see, have made a poor growth, while the three rows next the sweet clover have grown most luxuriantly. And yet they were planted with the same seed and at the same time. Herr Reepen thinks the difference must come from the nitrogen gathered by the sweet clover It seems as if there must have been some other difxerence, perhaps accidental, but still it may be worth while to make some experiment to see whether anything like the same difference might be made in this country. I commend the case to your consideration. C. C. Miller. Marengo, Ill., April 15, 1899. I should be exceedingly glad to submit to our readers the picture sent us. It looks to me as though the ranker and stronger growth of the potatoes close up to the sweet clover may be accounted for partly by the shade. If the soil was sandy or gravelly, the sun was likely too hot for them in the open field; and this great mass of sweet clover would not only shade the potatoes, but if there were an abundance of rain it might also help to keep them damp longer than those standing out in the full blaze of the sun. I wish our German people would tell us through Dr. Miller, or in some other way, how much sweet clover is worth for feeding stock in the " Fatherland." Farmers' Bulletin No. 18...
