So far as the two varieties have l)een tried this rtsult has been noticed. The mammoth clover, however, has not yet been grown over so wide an area as the medium red. hence it is possible that there may l»e localities where one of these varieties only will Htmrish, but if so these have not hitherto been defined. Place in the Rotation.—Mammoth clover should be given the same place in the rotation as the medium red clover. (See Page 69) It should be sown for pasture, therefore, in short rotations, and should follow, when practicable, a cultivated crop, to l)e succeeded by a grain crop. Soil.—Tht soils suited to mammoth clover are substantially the same as those suited to the medium red variety. (See Page 69.) Since mammoth clover, however, would seem io have greater power to gather plant food in the soil than the medium red, it is relatively better adapted to lands not well sup- plied with fertility. And as it sends its roots deeper into the soil, it is better able to withstand drouth in dry seasons, and also the influences that cause heaving or lifting in dry soils supplied with too much moisture in the season of freezing and thaw- ing. MaiTimoth clover, therefore, has, in some h.
