Excerpt from Experiments in Handling Sweet Clover: With Reference to the Accumulation and Conservation of Nitrates in the Soil
The rapidly increasing use of sweet clover as a green manure testi fies to its high value for this purpose. Whereas only a few years ago sweet clover was despised as a useless weed, so rapidly has it risen in the farmer's estimation that in the year 1926 it is reported that acres in Illinois alone were given over to the cultivation of this crop.
