Clover Grows Well On Mountain So

Raleigh reports red clover offers soil improvement on western North Carolina farms, especially with lime. A 1925 experiment by G H Roberts on a Marshall county farm showed limed plots yielded more hay, notably 1,985 pounds at 1,000 pounds lime per acre and 2,112 pounds at 3,000 pounds. The study notes 1,000 pounds lime suffices for mountain growers to boost clover yields.
