Red Clover Seed Gains Popularity Among Lake County Farmers
Red clover seed becomes a top cash crop for Lake county farmers with about 3000 acres under cultivation and strong demand in southern and western states. Yields normally reach 325 to 350 pounds per acre but were below due to clover seed midges and aphids. Estimated losses from midges exceed 100000 pounds valued at 15 cents per pound, totaling at least 15000 dollars. Two growers, Edwin Bingham and Clarence Bick, supply foundation seed for local distribution, with most seed processed by the Co-operative Growers Association at Charlo, an authorized plant of the Montana Seed Growers Association.
