In South Texas, bur clover, a winter weed crucial for deer in spring, was showing freeze burn.

Flowers in clusters of 2 — 20 Bur Clover, Medicago hispida. 32a.

What we had planned to do was turn the cattle in on this last plot about January 1st, let them graze crimson clover, or bur clover, or any other winter ground cover that grows in your section until the Lespedeza sericea came on in the early summer.

This I hoped would improve the texture of the soil and make better conditions for growing bur clover between the trees.

During summer and fall large flocks of grayish white merinos could be seen getting a rich living on the brown grasses, the yellow stubble of old grain fields, and the tightly rolled nuts of the bur clover; while in winter and spring, hills and plains with their velvet-like covering of green alfileria offered the best and juiciest of food.
