THE PRODUCTION" OF HAIEY VETCH SEED. 



These results show yields ranging from 3 to 15 bushels per acre, 

 with an average of 6^ bushels for all the trials. Such a yield makes 

 a decidedly profitable crop. \¥here vetch is grown alone the seed 

 yields are heavier, but this is largely counterbalanced by the diffi- 

 culty of harvesting, so that it is advisable as a rule to grow it in 

 combination with rye.
