Reeves a bill “for the relief of in-
corporated cities and towns in
Texas, by delegating necessary au-
thority and power to raise reve-
nues, containing a repealing clause
providing for severability and de-
claring an emergency,” it was
announced this week in Austin.
The intent of the Fenoglio-
Reeves bill, according to legisla
same is sometimes in doubt and
it is the further intent of this act
to clarify and broaden home rule
power and to delegate full power
insofar as delegation of same may
be needed. This act will be liber-
ally construed to carry out the
intent to afford financial relief
to the cities and towns.”

MADRID SWEET CLOVER
PROVES HIGHLY BENEFICIAL
ON GRAZING LANDS
“Oats following Madrid sweet
clover produced ten times more
grazing than those on land where
no sweet clover had been grown.”
Sylvester Wolf of Windthorst made
this statement regarding the re-
sults from planting Madrid sweet
clover. Mr. Wolf is a dairy and
livestock fanner. He has been a
co-operator with the Little Wichita
Soil Conservation District since
1947.
Wolf planted a four-acre field

sweet clover in the spring of 1950.
It was fertilized with 250 pounds
of 20 percent superphosphate per
acre. Ten pounds of inoculated
seed were planted per acre on a
firm seed bed.
Oats were planted on this field
last December and made excellent
growth. Wolf started grazing the
oats recently with 60 head of cows
and calves in connection with an
adjoining pasture. He estimates
these oats are providing ten times
more grazing than he would get
from another oat field where no
clover had been grown. Wolf
further stated that he could have
harvested 50 bales of good quality
hay per acre as compared to ten
from the other field.
During the first growing sea-
son of the clover in 1950. Wolf
grazed 25 head of dairy cows on
the field in rotation with the ad-
joining pasture for three months.
In the spring of 1951, the field was
grazed for six weeks with the
pasture. “Milk production increas-
ed around 25 per cent while graz-
ing the clover,” stated Mr. Wolf.
Wolf further stated, “The increas-
ed milk production and reduced
feed bill was worth five dollars
per day to me during the clover
grazing period.”
In June of 1951, 205 pounds of
clean clover seed was harvested
from the four acre field. “Had it
not been for a windstorm just be-
fore harvesting, I would have
made 800 pounds of clean seed,”
continued Mr. Wolf.
Madrid clover has proven to be
an all purpose crop. The clover has
a deep tap root that opens up tight
soils for deeper water penetra-
tion. It will furnish from six to
nine months of grazing during the
two growing seasons that it is on
the land. The legume will yield
from one to two tons of hay per
acre during a normal year. From
100 to 300 pounds of seed may be
harvested at the end of the second
growing season. When the crop is
drilled it will reduce soil and wa-
ter losses. The legume also adds
nitrogen to the soil which is very
essential to plant growth.
