H. S. Coe

H. S. Coe was an American agricultural writer and researcher whose work appeared in U.S. Department of Agriculture bulletins in the 1910s. Project Gutenberg’s bibliographic records identify him as H. S. Coe (1888–1918), and list him as the author or coauthor of works including Sweet-Clover Seed and Sweet Clover: Utilization.

His known publications focus on sweet clover, a forage crop that was becoming increasingly important to farmers at the time. In these bulletins, he wrote about subjects such as seed production, pollination, feeding value, and practical farm use, showing a strong interest in turning careful observation and field research into useful advice.

Because confirmed biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I found, much of what survives publicly centers on his writing rather than his personal history. Even so, those works preserve the picture of a young specialist contributing to agricultural science before his life ended in 1918.
