(lover Culture # Faets Tabulated Agriculture College Prepares Circular Rased on Experi ences of 200 Farmers. S>weet Clover In Nebraska" has ist been sent to press by the Univer sity of Nebraska agricultural col lege and will soon he ready for dis tribution from county extension agents and the college at Lincoln. It has been prepared to meet the in quiries of farmers which have re cently been flooding the agricultural college mail. The popularity of this one-time roadside weed as a pasture, seed and soil-building crop seems to l e rapidly Increasing in Nebraska. Sweet clover can be grown in prac tically all parts of the slate, even in some places where alfalfa and red niover do not pay. It is of particular value on wet and alkali lands of the i ive»- bottoms, upon lime soils, and on soils which are underlain by hard subsoils, according to the bulletin. Being a legume, sweet clover Is also an excellent nitrogen furnishing soil builder. More attention is given to discus sion of the pasturing value of the plant in this circular. The best prac tice*. of more than 200 farmers, who answered questions regarding their experiences with clover as a pasture crop, are outlined and summarized. The use of sweet t lover us a hay crop has not been found to he so universally successful bv these farm ers. however, as their use of it for pasture. Under certain conditions and careful management, good hay can be obtained from clover, says the circular. Harvesting seed from sweet clover presents other problems that are solved by the circular. The flower furnishes a good quality of nectar to bees also, a fact that may be con sidered unimportant to most Nebras ka farmers, but of prime importance to a few The varieties of sweet clover are discussed from rhe standpoint of their adaptability {o Nebraska condition i. General directions for seed bed prepa ration. time, rate and methods of seeding, and the kind of seed to use are given in the last part of the ci. cular. Improvement by Breeding Success College Says Animal improvement through breed ing is being practiced with much suc cess, says the agricultural college. In hog raising. Nebraska has demon stiated to the country what the use of good sires can accomplish. It 'seems very peculiar, therefore, that equal attention has not been given to improving the milking cattle hy the use of good sires. Strange, as it may seem, only 9 per cent of the milk cows of the state are bred to purebred dairy bulls. Nebraska stands near thp bottom of the list of states with only a little more that! a ton and a quarter of milk per cow compared with almost two tons and a half per cow in the state of Washington. That state re ports that 41 per cent of the sires are purebred dairy bulls that have been bred for generations for high milk production.

It is enough to supply 15 families of rite persons each with their yearly butter supply. Sultana's record as a senior -1-year-old was 25, 458.1 pounds of m Ik, 928.80 pounds of butterfat, or 1.161 pounds of butler. If taken as milk it equals 23,880 pints or 1 1,840 quarts. Such a production equals 32 1-2 quarts of milk each day of the 385. In Nebraska, the average cow pro -t__ _ duces 2.528 pounds of milk in a year. Sultana is therefore equal to It) such cow*. Such a cow is not a hap penstance. but the result of years of constructive breeding. Sultana's sire and clam were both l ied at the agri ( Ultnial eoilfge. and she was developed there. An a 2 year-old. she produced 19,555.S pounds of milk. (J93.59 pounds of butterfat, or 8G<».95 pounds of but ter. \\ hich s the Nebraska state but m fat record for junior 2-vear olds. She has therefore been a consistent re< ord-breaker. It will be of interest to know that , her last son lias been loaned to the Ingleside state hospital at Hastings as a part of the effort to build up bet ter herds at the state inst tutions.

Agricultural College Trains .Many Teachers. Twenty young men, graduates of the Nebraska Agricultural college, are now teachers of agriculture in the high schools of the state. More thau 40 young women.' also graduates of the agricultural college, are high school Instructors in home economics. Add 30 more rural school teachers who finished the course in the school of agriculture and there are nearly 100 teachers in service, the product of Nebraska's agricultural college and its contribution to the leadership of the public schools. One expects an agricultural college to train men for farming and women for home-making. One is not sur prised to see Its graduates become county extension agents or managers of institutions dealing with foods or clothing. Teaching In high schools is comparatively a new Add for men and women educated in agriculture and home economics. The college lias reached more than 2,000 younger hoys and girls'through its graduates who teach in the classrooms of rural schools and high schools. Boys who study agriculure today In high schools will he the farmers of tomorrow. They will he leaders in the movement for better crops, bet ter livestock and netter living. Girls who are members of home economics classes now will soon he in charge of their own homes. The result of home economics teaching are a higher standard of home life, better health for the family and more intelligent rearing of children. The agricultural college has estab lished a strong teacher training de partment and provided a course of study for prospective teachers. Prac tice leaching centers have been se cured in vocational schools in and near Lincoln. Control of Stem Rust Not Expected in State No hope is held out for the control of stem rust of wheat. The aim of all plant pathologists is pointed to the prevention or at hast to the gradual elimination of this d.sense. As far as Nebraska is concerned, the eradication of the barberry bush will not completely eliminate stem rust Howe\er, It will assist in contt oiling local epidemics where barbery bushes were formerly present. The plant pathologists of the Ne ht a ska college ate now engaged in a fundamental study of the relation of environment factors influencing the development of the red spore stage, as it is this Stage that must be counted ■ n in the development of stern rust in the absence of the barberry bush. At the same time, a study of the conditions which influence the stis ceptibility and resistance of various wheat varieties is being conducted with the hope of finding by selection or through breeding varieties which will escape or are resistant to the forms of the stem rust commonly found in Nebraska.
