Mr, Denny Jigs a field of about
4 acres as fine sweet clover as I
have ever seen. It is the white

iA valuable for both hay and pas-

In, places has Just been cut for
hay. which ML Denny estimates
will average 14 tons per acre He
says it is equal to or better than
peanut hay and dbes not require
nearly so much per feed. AH kln<UT
of livestock, he says, eat it with
great relish.
In addition to hay. Mr. Denny
says, he has threshed as much aa
250 pounds seed per acre which
are in great demand for planting
as soil building crop than which -
there is none better.
Besides the small
he uses for hay. Mr. Denny haa ,
several acres of bermudk grass
teid clover pasture which provides ,
excellent grazing throughout the
year. for all kinds of livestock.
His pasture, he says, was once aa
old field badly gullied and unfit
for farming which his bermuda
and sweet clover has reclaimed
and built up to as good pasture
aa can be found in the county. ‘
