' When Seeds are Mixed -Seeds of alfalfa, sweet clover and yellow trefoil are so -much alike that they are difficult to d'istingu'ish, says John Buchanan of the O. A. C. eld husbandry de- partment. 5Still, there` are differ- ences. Well matured sweet clover and trefoil are much more uni- form in shape and size than is al- falfa. Sweet clover seeds, if close- ly examined, display an ovalshape with a slight notch near one end; alfalfa vary from a long bean shape to a short, angular form, with notch about midway on one s'ide; yellow trefoil are of short kidney shape, slightly larger at one end than at the other, and have a slight projection a little nearer the small end than the large. `Sweet clover may also be distinguished by its somewhat*bit- ter taste and smell. a IJUUUIIIIIIE BUGIUUICQ ' With the exhaustion of good ' grazing land the expansion of ' wool production must involve the ' re`-establishment of sheep on farms =land the further intensication of 3 range production.
