PREMIU 
Spring Vetch 
(Vieia sativa) 
The Vetches do not do so well in the 
Spring as in the Fall. In some sections, 
Spring Vetch seems, however, 10 give very 
good results. When sown in Spring, the 
Spring Vetch makes a quicker growth than 
the Hairy Vetch. It is best always to sow' 
with some grain — beardless barley or oats, 
a bushel of barley or oats and 30 pounds of 
Vetch to the acre. For prices see colored 
pages. 
Winter Vetch 
(Vieia villosa) 
« 
Hairy or Winter Vetch is increasing in 
popularity wherever grown, ami is proving 
to he one of the most valuable crops for 
Fall planting. It not only makes the most 
nutritious hay, but improves the condition 
and productiveness of the land for crops to 
follow. Winter or Hairy Vetch occupies 
lirst place in this respect it being among 
the few plants grown during the Fall and 
Winter months that are able to gather nit- 
rogen from the air and deposit it in tin- soil 
for future use of other crops. The forage 
is greatly relished by horses* and cattle, 
and is very nutritious; it is also a fln«- 
milk producing food. 
Vetch 
Vetch can he sown from July to November, and should l.e sown broadcast at the rate of 20 to 30 pounds 
to the acre, with one bushel of rye or wheat. The ry * or wheat helps to hold the Vetch off the ground, 
enabling it to make a better growth, and making it more easy to harvest and cure properly. For a hay crop. 
Vetch should he cut just after the rye or wheat has headed out. and before the grain matures. If Vetch is 
sown alone, wdthout being put in with rye or wheat, it should he sown at the rate of 35 to 40 pounds to the 
acre. It is much better, however, to sow' it with rye or wheat. For prices see colored pages.

“Nitragin” Increases Yield — Makes Fertile Soil 
Don’t Sow Legume Seed Without Inoculation 
“Nit ragin'' is the trade name of the germ that acts in the Legume root; 
draws nitrogen from the air and converts it into plant food. It insures a 
uniform “catch" a strong, healthy, hardy plant. At the same time the 
soil i- enriched for the nourishment of the succeeding crop. But remem- 
ber onl v Legumes inoculated with a good reliable culture, such as 
"Nitragin." will do this. Pse “Nitragin" on all legumes. Make your farm 
fertile. 
Inoculate Seed with “NITRAGIN” 
Get a Bumper Crop 
In order to get a bumper crop your 
farm must be fertile. Your farm cannot 
be fertile unless you can grow r Legumes 
successfully, to get a “catch.’’ to insure 
an even stand, you must in a great many cases use a good pure cul- 
ture. such as “Nitragin." The pure culture system of inoculating 
legumes is endorsed by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, by experiment 
stations, by agricultural experts, and by farmers who have used 
“Nitragin.” Science has definitely proved that legume crops must 
find certain bacteria in the soil or they will prove a failure. If you 
failed to secure a “catch” it's because there is something lacking in 
the soil. The problem in a great many eases has been solved, that it 
lacks bacteria sufficient to insure a “catch.”
