Mr. Root — When you get out a new circular I wish you would cut out the statement that this station has ever classed sweet clover as a noxious weed. Away back in 1877-78, I called attention, through Farm and Fireside, in an article which was copied generally in the agricultural press, to the fact that this plant grows only where noth ing else will grow, and appears to be designed as a reno vetor of exhausted soils. I have never permitted it to be classed as a noxious weed while in control of this station. Chas. E. Thorne, Director.
