FARMERS IN CLOVER
Four years ago a (Hertfordshire farmer introduced .among his crops a new species of clover which grew to a height of eight feet and, in doing so, amazed agriculturists all over the country. Known as "Giant Clover," the new crop is this year being grown on a larger scale than ever before, so far as England is concerned. Strikingproof of its value is afforded by the fact that recently the fanner referred to above feold one of his farms on which the clover is cultivated at a profit of £IOOO. The clover is particularly valuable as fodder, and is hardly less useful as a green manure. Ground into which it has been ploughed well, it is claimed, yields 100 per cent, more corn than ordinary ground,.
