handling the seed crop vary, due partly 

 to difference of opinion as to the best 

 method, but more largely to the ma- 

 chinery which the grower has. 



"It is the general practice to cut 

 vetch for seed as soon as the lower 

 pods are fully ripe, at which time the 

 upper pods will be fully formed and 

 the plant will be carrying a maximum 

 quantity of seed," says C. W. Piper, 

 the government agrostologist, in a re- 

 cent bulletin. "Later cutting occasions 

 more shattering of the seed, while ear- 

 lier cutting results in a considerable 

 percentage of immature seed. In a 

 few places, where but little seed is 

 raised, the crop is cut with an ordinary 

 mowing machine. Two men with pitch- 

 forks follow the mower and roll the 

 vetch back from the uncut area so as 

 to enable the machine to get through 

 when cutting the next swath. Some- 

 times the first swath cut is rolled on 

 the uncut vetch, and when the succeed- 

 ing swath is cut the two are rolled 

 back out of the way. This puts the 

 vetch in larger swaths than the first- 

 ^ mentioned method, and also somewhat 

 * reduces the loss from shattering. These 

 two mower and pitchfork methods were 

 formerly used generally, but now have 

 been largely superseded by other 

 methods. 



"An ordinary grain binder is used 

 by some growers, especially when the 

 vetch is short and therefore quite erect 

 or when it is grown with a supporting 

 crop, such as oats. "When thus har- 

 vested, the crop is put in shocks similar 

 to grain shocks and allowed to remain 

 until thrashed.
