W W A Moss and Hugh McKay report on Tetonia Idaho trials with alfalfa sweet clover and clover grass mixes in wheat rotation. Wheat after alfalfa and sweet clover yields two to three bushels per acre higher than after fallow and shows higher protein content.
The article notes that winter wheat following alfalfa and sweet clover suffers less winter kill than wheat in a wheat fallow system. It adds that straight grass does not aid in preventing winter damage to wheat.
The Idaho National Farm Safety week chair, J. W. Barber, cites 1948 losses from farm accidents: 17 million days lost and 36 million dollars in medical and hospital costs. Federal figures exclude permanent disability. He warns similar losses could recur in 1949 without greater safety measures.
Kenland shows high resistance to southern anthracnose and may offer Idaho produced red clover seed as a northern outlet. Plant scientists note Kenland outlives common red clover types and yields about the same as other varieties.
The report cites 19 percent of farms with accidents, one in six farms affected, and falls as the leading hazard causing one fourth of accidents. Machinery caused one eighth, with 54 percent in recreation and 6 percent in housework, leaving 23 percent from motor vehicles and unclassified home incidents. Burns and shock are common home injuries.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Crabtree Jr. of Twin Falls spent several days last week visiting in Preston with Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Crabtree, the Crabtree couple's parents.
Kenland Clover adapts for Idaho areas as producers anticipate longer lived plants and larger profits due to strong demand for top rate clover seed. KH Glages of the University of Idaho notes seed is in great demand in central and southern corn belt regions for dairy herds. Some seed was grown under Idaho Crop Improvement Association certification this year and more seed is expected once the new clover seed is released in Idaho.
