Sweet Clover Improves Soil as Top Crop for Worn Ground
Prof George Roberts head of the soils and crops dept says sweet clover is the best crop for worn soil and will grow on poor land if lime is present. Limed ground near Berea produced large sweet clover yields and 40 bushels of corn next year versus 20 on untreated soil. Kentucky trials show 500 pounds lime or 250 pounds burned lime per acre suffice for fair growth, with greater returns from heavier applications.
