VETCH 
Winter, Sand or 
Hairy VETCH 
This is the hardiest and 
most suitable variety for the 
central and northern states. 
When sown in the fall, it lives 
through even the severest 
winters and completes its 
growth the following spring, 
which makes it our best le¬ 
guminous winter cover and 
green manure crop. 
It thrives better than any 
other legume on the sandier 
type soils. 
It is advisable to sow one 
of the small grains with it to 
furnish support for the vines, 
as the Vetch grows better if 
the vines are kept off the 
ground and the combination 
gives a larger amount of 
green manure. Rye is com¬ 
monly used and seems to be 
the most satisfactory to grow with 
Vetch. 
COWPEAS 
All LEGUMES Should 
Cowpeas, being legumes, have 
the same ability to improve the soil 
as do clovers and alfalfa. They are 
easily planted, easily grown, make 
good pasture, can be fed green, 
make fine hay and excellent ensil¬ 
age, especially when planted with 
corn. The decaying roots and stems 
add food value to the soil and the 
whole vines are often turned under 
for fertilizer. 
Whip-Poor-Will 
Legume has many 
uses 
This is a soil enriching legume 
about which too little is known.

SEE PAGE 18 
The Whip-Poor-Will is an early va¬ 
riety, maturing in about 90 days. 
Cowpeas, ripe, are valuable either 
as human food or food for stock. 
The vines make the finest kind of 
hay green, and are eaten by stock; 
are an excellent silo filler and may 
be pastured by hogs or cattle. Do 
not plant until the ground is warm. 
For pasture, hay or soiling, broad¬ 
cast or drill with a grain drill at 
the rate of one bushel per acre. 
For seed sow in rows 36 inches 
apart and cultivate.
