VETCH A NEW CBOF. 



Vetch is grown on practically every 

 type of soil in North Carolina, South 

 Carolina and Georgia. Nearly all the 

 plantings are small, as most growers 

 have just begun to plant vetch, but on 

 some farms where it has become well 

 established fifty acres or more are 

 planted annually. Vetch is used for 

 hay more than for any other purpose. 

 At Augusta, Ga., where hay made from 

 vetch and oats is well known, it sells 

 on a par with cowpea hay. Liverymen 

 buy it extensively, and it is shipped in 

 coasiderable quantities to the sawmills 

 and lumber camps of Florida. From 

 one to three tons to the acre are com- 

 mon yields, which, at prices varying 

 from $15 to $20 a ton, make it a profit- 

 able crop. 



Inasmuch as narrow-leaved vetch 

 sepd is difficult to obtain and is not 

 commonly sown, nothing definite as to 

 the quantity of seed required has been 

 determined iby the recent investiga- 

 tions of the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture. As the seeds arg 

 small, twenty-five pounds per acre prob- 

 ably are sufficient. With common vetch
