Sweet Clover: Harvesting and Thrashing the Seed Crop

"Sweet Clover: Harvesting and Thrashing the Seed Crop" by H. S. Coe is a guide crafted for early 20th-century farmers, focusing on the best ways to grow and gather sweet clover. It acts as a how-to manual, showing how to get the most seeds possible while wasting as little as possible. The publication explains when the best time is to cut sweet clover for seeds, what machines work best for collecting, and how to separate the seeds from the plant. It also talks about problems like seeds breaking open too soon and gives simple answers like using special harvesting machines. The material emphasizes getting the most out of the crop, using both the seeds and the straw, so farmers can gain from sweet clover not just as a seed source but also for feeding animals and improving the soil.
