20 Tzoenty—seventh Annual Report of the
REMARKS: Vetch is doing fairly well where tried. Seems
to be a little slow to make growth enough to turn under in
the spring. It must be inoculated in Kentucky, and will
not be as valuable as crimson clover because the latter is so
much more easily grown.

REMARKS: We have had many failures in sweet clover,
due to the fact that lime and inoculation have been lacking.
Furthermore our people believe that it is not much more
easily grown than alfalfa, and they prefer alfalfa.

REMARKS: Red clover during the past twoyears has been
almost a total failure. lf we can get our people to sow it
alone in the fall of the year, I think we can handle the crop.
However, it is so important in a rotation with corn and small
grains, that we were hoping to be able to grow it with a
nurse crop by using large amounts of limestone. This, how-
ever, has not been as satisfactory as we would like. It may
be that growing barley in place of wheat will help us solve
the problem. Experimental work in the state does not give
us much consolation, so far as the effectiveness of lime is
concerned. in growing red clover.
