In preparation for a pasture experiment, later moved to a larger and more accessible piece of land, five pasture mixtures were each seeded to duplicate i-acre areas. In the seeded field an acre of white sweet clover lay between one of an alsike clover and grass mixture and one of a white clover and bluegrass mixture. When the experiment was moved the field was left ungrazed. The yields of sweet clover hay were obtained by cutting 16 i-meter plats in each acre, the sweet clover being subsequently mowed in three parts with stubble 4, 8, and 12 inches tall, respectively. There were nine 10 x 10 foot plats in each acre for a check. The yields for the 2 acres of sweet clover were 2.53 ± .069 and 2.81 ± .026 tons of air-cured hay, respectively. Later in the season notes were taken for the three heights of cutting, as shown in Table i.
