Sweet Clover Gains In Nebraska Pastures And Soils
Nebraska farmers report sweet clover pasture yields 2 to 3 times higher than blue grass while acreage rises from 65 000 in 1922 to 125 000 in 1923 with further growth expected in 1924. It serves as a rapid soil builder and provides long pasture seasons using first and second year fields. Some cattle bloating concerns exist but are not severe. An aerial note mentions Broadway Temple, a 24 story Romanesque cathedral planned by the Methodist Episcopal Church on Washington Heights in New York City financed by rentals to aid churches.
