SAND OR HAIRY 
VETCH. 
An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enor- 
mously on almost any ground. It is biennial, sim- 
ilar in growth to field peas, only that the vines are 
much finer, longer and more thickly covered with 
leaves and side stems. It is not unusual to find 
vines 10 feet long.. As a soiling crop it is une- 
qualled, and for spring and fall pasture its value 
cannot be over-estimated. Seed sown in August 
will produce splendid fall pasturage by the middle 
of September, after which a good covering may be 
left on the ground to prevent washing of the soil 
during the winter and early spring months. It 
starts into growth again very early in spring, mak- 
ing a very rapid growth, and will be ready to pas- 
ture again by the middle of May, or if allowed to 
mature will yield a heavy hay crop in June. If 
sown in April or May it may be eut for hay in 
July. 
It yields enormous crops on rich soil; from 15 
to 20 tons of green fodder to the acre not being 
uncommon, and on sandy, thin ground it makes a 
remarkably heavy growth. For planting in young 
orchards and plowing under it possesses great 
value. 2 
Sow broadcast, either in spring or fall, using 
from 30 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, sowing with 
it about 4% bushel of oats to support the vines.

SOY BEANS. 
A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil 
renovator. We offer only Northern grown varieties, 
as the larger Southern grown sorts do not mature 
in this section. The seed should not be sown until 
the ground is warm; just after corn planting time. 
Plant in drills 30 inches apart and three or four 
inches apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the 
acre for forage, or if for seed use about 2 quarts 
more.

der, besides being a valuable soil enricher. Sown with oats, using 1%
