THE SWEET CLOVER
u
HARVEST IN PROGRESS
SEVERAL THOUSAND .ACHES OF
IMPORTANT FORAGE PLANT
WILL HE CUT FOR SEED
Jtank (Jnnlli in tlio Uncultivated
Fields Int Iio 1'lntto Valley 1V1I1
Produce Tliuiisamls of Bushels of
Seed.
Tho North Platto Sweet Clover Seed
Co., of which Thoa, Orton is pcsldent
and C. 0. Welngand secretary, began
the harvest of sweet clover Saturday.
This company has contracted the
plant growing on several thousand
acres of land In tho valley, both nort,h
and south of tho rivers, and to harvest
tho crop In tho quickest, possible time
they have assembled an outfit of no
mean proportions. They have rigged
outia tractor engine which hauls three
binding machines, and in addition to
this aro running ten mowing machines,
borne fifteen or twonty men being cm
ployed. Tho largest area contracted
by tho company is on the Turpio ranch
t'oulli of the river, whero several
hundred acres aro in a body, and from
other individual owners they have con
tracted almost ns large bodies; these
in addition to the smaller patches
which aro found scattered all over the
valloy on the uncultivated fields.
Loypoldt & Wickstrom, of Hcrshcy,
is another firm that will harvest a big
acreage of this plant which has re
ceived such a big boost during the past
two years. Last year this firm shipped
out several carloads of tho seed, tho
market price of which ran as high
as twelve dollars per bushel.
The demand for sweet clover seed
Is strong in tho farming communities
of the middlo west and tho east, whero
it does well as a forage plant and
seems to ho held in higher esteem
than it does in this country. This Is
probably due to tho abundance of al
falfa and prairie hay in this country
and the moderate price the latter com
mands as compared with hay prices
in the east.
It is probable that the value of sweet
clover seed shipped out of the Platto
Valley in, Lincoln county will not fall
short of fifty thousand dollars.

cimc Establishes n Value of $2,000
For Acre.
Lincolu county people generally
have knowledge of tfiH existence of
the David Hunter orchard, located
north of Sutherland, but not many
know Its value. As evidence of Us
worth, the statement 13 made that Mr.
Hunter recently declined an offer of
one thousnnd dollars per acre for the
orchard. As thoro aro forty-four
acres In bearing trees, the offer car
ried the sum of $41,000. Tills offer

The trees In the Hunter orchard
which were planted over twenty years
ago aro as healthy and perfect ns
trees can be, and every apple produc
ed is as perfect as the trees. Mr.
Hunter has a standing offer of ten
dollars for each wormy apple shipped
from his orchard.' Tills condition re
sults from tho methodical treatment
of .spraying to which tho treos are
bubjected each season.
The output of tho orchard last year
year was 1S.000 bushels of apples and
a large quantity of cherries. The
crop last year was larger than usual,
but the average yearly not Income
from the orchard, figured at ten per
cent, would establish a value of about
twlco $44,000.
