PLANTS USEFUL TO WILDLIFE THAT HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED 
FOR EROSION CONTROL 
CRCP AND PASTURE PLANTS 
The province of this publication is to deal chiefly with wild or nat- 
uralized plants of recognized value to wildlife rather than with culti- 
vated sorts, the utilization of which by wildlife is often the cause of 
economic loss. Some agricultural plants should be mentioned, how- 
ever, as they are of pronounced value in erosion control. They have 
the very great merit, moreover, of promptly yielding products that 
may pay for their planting and care. W here lands still tillable are 
concerned, the first effort in erosion control usually is to establish 
some of the commonly planted grasses or legumes. Rye, or rye and 
sweetclover,® for instance, are highly recommended for the Midwest ; 
but from among the cereal grains, the pasture and hay grasses, and the 
legumes (clover, bushclover, sweetclover, cowpea, soybean), or com- 
binations of these, vegetative covering can be quickly established 
while more time-consuming methods are under advisement or in early 
but ineffective stages of development. Lespedezas (pl. 6, 4) are used 
in protecting the surface where cultivation is being abandoned, espe- 
cially on account of their supplementary value to wildlife. They 
even have a place in gully planting (pl. 6, B). 
5 The seeds of sweetclover are reported by Paul L. Errington (letter) to be somewhat 
poisonous to bobwhites and pheasants.
