440 FOEAGE PLANTS AND THEIR CULTURE 



Dakota vetch has long been recognized by cattlemen as 

 an excellent native forage plant and on this account was 

 recommended for cultivation by the South Dakota Experi- 

 ment Station in 1894. The plant and yield is so small, 

 however, that the returns do not warrant its culture. A 

 large percentage of the seed at least of the California 

 form is hard and does not germinate.
