Salzer’s Wisconsin Grown Sand Vetch 
The Great Soil Reclaimer, Drought Resister and Hay Producer 
Sand Vetch is also known under the terms of Winter Vetch and Hairy 
Vetch. For soil improvement, there is hardly any crop that fits in so 
well under all conditions as Vetch. It is a heavy carrier of root tubercles 
and these increase in cold weather more than on any other legume. It 
will do well on poor lands where clover would fail. It needs a good seed 
bed with plenty of moisture to begin with, but when once established 
it will stand almost any degree of heat, cold, or drought. Salzer’s Sand 
Vetch will supply a very succulent forage from early spring until late 
fall and will remain green under snow all winter long, giving your stock 
the first green forage in early spring. 
FACTS ABOUT SAAD VETCH 
It Is a wonderful, rapid grower; thrives with little moisture. 
It wltlistnnd.s cold; Sand Vetch can be sown quite early in 
Spring as soon as the ground can be worked, and also in faii, 
in August or September, and the next spring will come forth 
fresh and green and vigorous and will form green herbage for 
cattle very early. It furnishes the earliest forage crop. 
It l.s a trenieiidoHS yielder, producing all the way from 15 to 
20 tons of the very best green forage per acre. 
(iunlity. Salzef’s Sand Vetch makes the best hay imaginable. 
It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than clover, is eaten 
with relish and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock. 
As a fertilizer it has but few equals, as it enriches the soil 
wonderfully. The Department of Agriculture at Washington 
estimates the value of a plowed under crop of this Vetch as 
equivalent to putting into the ground $16 to $45 worth of com¬ 
mercial fertilizer to the acre. 
When intended for hay, Salzer’s Sand Vetch should be left 
standing until the flowers have, for the most part, given way 
to the pods, and some of the seeds become well formed. 
Pa.st«ire all summer long. You can have this excellent fodder 
plant all summer long from April until November not only a 
little but a great abundance, as Sand Vetch produces heavily. 
Soil. As the name would indicate. Sand Vetch has a special 
adaption for sandy soils, it has a decided capacity to grow on 
light soil too poor to produce crops of Clover, Spring Vetches 
and Cow Peas. But it will of course grow more vigorously on 
a better class of soils. 
Every dairyman and stock-breeder in the United States should 
have a fleld of Sand Vetch and if he tries it once, he will never 
be without it. 
Sow in Spring or in Fall at the rate of 35 to 40 pounds Sand 
Vetch with about % bu. of Barley or Oats in Spring, and Win¬ 
ter Rye in Fall. The grain will greatly assist the Vetch in 
checking the weed growth, as the Vetch starts rather slowly. 
The grain will also furnish variety if used for pasture and will 
provide stems on which the Vetch may climb, which will make 
it easier to cut and harvest the crop. To sow Vetch with a 
nurse crop has always given the best results. If wanted alone, 
however. Vetch is sown at the rate of 40 to 60 pounds per acre 
broadcast, or less amount in drills 30 inclies apart. If grown 
the latter way it can be cultivated while the plants are young.

the best bearded spring wheat for isconsin anil in 
proving just as valuable in other states. Progress

glumed, spring wheat and has a dark red hard ker¬ 
nel of superior milling quality. Straw is short and 
very stiff, heads compact and bearded, grain large, 
plump and beautiful. Over a five year test at the 
Marshfield Station, it outyielded every other wheat 
by 7% bu. per acre. It was developed at the Marsn- 
fleld Station from a selection of the Early Java. Its 
value is thoroughly established and it is one of the 
highest yielders, with grain of superior quality.
