The -severe winter of 1903-4 combined with. the pnolonged droutth in many of the districts where clo- ver seed is most extensively grown. was exceedingly unfavorable to the clover crop` in 1904.

The clover V seed. midg-e was also much in evid-A ence in nearly allot the districts _in_ Ontario. The Alsike crop fsared even uyorse than the Red Glover.
