CHILTON FARMER HAS FIVE ACRES
IN SWEET CLOVER

       Also has Six or Eight Acres Planted in Austrian Winter Peas.

       J. B. Davis, farmer near Chilton who has a large dairy herd, has five acres of sweet clover, which he planted in November of 1929.

       This clover went through the below zero weather of January, 1930, and made seed last year.  Mr. Davis had sheep on it from September to March and cows on it during September and from November to March.

       The crop is now waist high and will be cut in a few days.  Mr. Davis is planning on a second crop of hay and will let the third one go to seed.

       Mr. Davis also has six or eight acres in Austrian winter peas, planted primarily for soil building, but he plans to save the seed.
