TESTING SEED CORN PAYS
By II. D. HI GIIKS, Iowa Slate Collet*
The results of three years study at
Iowa State College of seed corn germ
inations tests show that with all the
testers used, the work of testing seed
corn was very profitable. The plant
ing results recorded show that no
one farm practice on corn belt farms
will give so great returns in dollar?
and cents as seed corn testing.
The cost per acre of testing all the
*eed ears used in this experiment in
1910 was 35 cents and in 1911 16.3
(Dead, Strong', Weak.)
WHAT THE TEST REVEALS.
cents. The untested corn in 1910
gave a stand of 5.05 per cent, and a
yield of 55.5 bushels per acre the
ears which tesied 6 strong, 0 weak, 0
dead, in 1910 gave a stand of 72.3
per cent and a yield of 75.1 bushels
a gain of 21.8 per cent in stand and
19.6 bushels in yield.
In 1911, the untested seed gave a
stand of fifty-two per cent and yield
ed 35.6 bushels per acre, while the
ears testing six strong gave a stand
of 73.0 per cent, and a yield of 45.7
bushels, a gain of 21.6 per cent in
stand and 10.1 bushels in yield.
The average stand for the two
years of untested seed was 51.25 per
cent of the tested, 73.1 per cent the
average yield of the untested was 45.5
bushels p*sr acre, of the tested, 60.4
bushels per acre. Therefore testing
gave an average increase of 21.85
per cent in stand and 14.9 bushels in
yield per acre.

Tests of Seed Corn," by Prof. H. D.
Hughes, fowa State College.
SWEET CLOVER AS FORAGE
By PAH. BZ&B, low* State Collnre.
As late as 1910 sweet clover was
classed as a noxious weed by a cer
tain experiment station, yet an Iowa
farmer, Frank Coverdale of Delmar,
grows it for both hay and seed and
says he prefers it to red clover. He
says, "Sweet clover hay is a super
ior hay. When properly gotten up it
issweeter and better relished by the
stock than any other hay I have ever
fed."
Mr. Coverdale obtains the best re
sults by using twenty pounds of seed
per acre on freshly plowed and disced
sod land. He usually seeds about
May 20th, the time varying somewhat
with the season. The clover makes
a good growth the first year and may
be cut for hay late in the season. The
second year two cuttings for hay
may be made or .one for hay and one
for seed.
Mr. Coverdale has found by experi
ence thai the best time to cut sweet
clover is just before it blooms. The
stubble must be left at least ten
inches high at this stage or there is
danger of killing out. The hay, after
wilting, is placed in cocks and cured
in the cock. By this method the least
loss of leaves occurs and stems and
leaves retain much of their green
color.
The-contention has been made that
sweet clover is difficult to eradicate.
It is, however, a biennial and if fol
lowed by a cultivated crop, such as
corn, will be prevented from reseed
ing itself. The experience of Mr.
Coverdale, where dying out followed
too close mowing, certainly indicates
that the plant is not very hard to
eradicate at will.
One of the most valuable character
istics of sweet clover is its soil im
proving qualities. Its roots penetrate
•the hardost soils, break up the lower
layers, improve drainage and on de
eay leaves large guantities of humus
in the soil.
Most plants, especially legumes,
used for soil improvement are hard
to start in poor soils. Sweet clover
is an exception and will thrive and
do well where other legumes will not
grow with any reasonable amount of
success.
As a green manure, analyses show
that sweet clover ranks between al
falfa and red clover in nitrogen con
tent, while the amount of green ma
terial available for turning under is
enormous when compared with other
crops used for the purpose.
Sweet clover has been used on the
alkali lands of the west. It stands
much more alkali than ordinary crops
and removes much of it in the stems
and leaves, when cut and taken off
the land.
A biennial, sweet clover fits well in
to the ordinary rotation of the corn
belt. Since a stand is obtained much
more readily than of red clover, it no
doubt will prove valuable to many
Iowa farmers.
It pays to grow feed especially for
the hogs, and not to depend oh mak
ing pork out of farm refuse. The le
gumes furnishes the concentrated ra
tions that the hogs need. They not
only make a good feed for the hogs,
kntf beneffi the land as well.

HIS EXPLANATION. The legislature has before it a bill
called "The Industrial Welfare Com
mission." At first glance this might
look as though the legislature intend
ed doing something for the industrial
development of the state. It contains
nothing of the sort. .It is another jone
of thoSe bills to further harass the
men who have established industrial
enterprises. Not a measure for the
benefit of the manufacturing enter
prises of the state has had favorable
consideration by this general assembly.
