Overview

Excerpt from Clover Culture The scientific facts pertaining to agriculture, so far as they have been discovered, are scattered through many books and other publications, comparatively few of them being ac cessible to the ordinary farmer; the practical experience in the application of these facts, so far as known, is in the pos session of the thousands of widely scattered farmers and largely beyond the reach of the public. It has occurred to us that we might do some service to the farmers of the United States, and especially of the West, by collating as many as possible of the facts that are accu rately and certainly known, and the experience of farmers over as wide a district as possible, on the one subject of Clover Culture, and presenting them to the public in compact form, in language within the comprehension of every farmer and at an expense within the means of every man who grows an acre of clover. We began the investigation of the subject some years ago with the sole purpose of solving the difficulties encountered in obtaining satisfactory stands of clover on sev eral hundred acres of land in western Iowa. Discussion of various phases of the subject through the homestead has brought us hundreds of letters from farmers in many states who were meeting the same or similar difficulties, and the following pages are the condensed results of our study of the subject, of the experience of our correspondents, of our own experience and our observation both at home and abroad.
