HUNGARIAN VETCH. 
FOR LOW COST SEED/MG / 
/4I Ranks at the top as a 
winter legume. The cham¬ 
pion soil-improving crop. 
Turned under at the proper 
time, will double and triple 
per acre yield of following 
crop. Cut or grazed, com¬ 
bined with small grains, such as oats and rye, or 
seeded alone, it furnishes splendid winter and spring 
pasture. Makes wonderful hay; all stock relish it. 
Stands the severe winters in all parts of the South 
without injury. Withstands drought. Grows on 
practically all types of soil. Prevents soil erosion. 
Grow Hairy Vetch to make your land rich, for you 
can’t make money farming poor land. 
Sow during late August through October at the 
rate of 20 pounds per acre in drills or 30 pounds 
broadcast. Can be planted in cotton at the last 
workings, or after corn or cowpeas. Allow the 
Vetch to ripen and shatter some of its seed. If this 
is done the land will be seeded down in Vetch. Ap¬ 
ply superphosphate or basic slag on all of the 
thinner, impoverished upland soils. No commercial 
fertilizers are needed for this crop on most of our 
alluvial and bluff soils, nor on the more fertile up¬ 
land soils, especially where the legume crop follows 
a crop of cotton which received a liberal application 
of superphosphate and some potash. 
Plow under during late April or early May. It 
will decay sufficiently in about two weeks to plant 
corn or cotton, or some other summer crop. Start 
making your land rich this fall. Our New Crop 
Vetch Seed is extra fine. Purity and germination 
tests are very high. Lb. 30c; 5 lbs. 90c. Not pre¬

729 The cost per acre of planting; Hungarian Vetch is much 
less than Hairy Vetch. It matures fully two weeks earlier 
than the Hairy. At the Delta Experiment Station, Stone- 
ville, Mississippi, we understand that no plant tested by it 
has surpassed the record of Hungarian Vetch. At the Ala¬ 
bama Experiment Station, Auburn, tests have been run for 
the past three years to determine “yields in pounds of green 
weight per acre” and in these tests Hungarian has proven 
dependable, and made the best general average of the three 
popular legumes. Mr. R. A. Wasson, Extension Agronomist, 
Louisiana Experiment Station, states: “We consider it equally 
as valuable and desirable as either Hairy Vetch or Austrian 
Winter Peas and would recommend it over either of them in 
cases where a saving on the cost of the seed can be secured. 
It is probably more resistant to acid soil conditions than any 
of the others and is also very Aphis resistant.” Experi¬ 
ment stations in Mississippi and Alabama also recommend it.

725 The most popular type in Louisiana. 
The State Experiment Station claims that Common Vetch 
can safely and satisfactorily be grown wherever the Hun¬ 
garian variety does well and in most areas where Hairy 
is generally grown. Common Vetch prefers sandy loams 
that are well-drained. However, it will produce good 
crops on most other soils where water does not stand. 
It is not as resistant to cold as hairy, and for this reason 
plantings are limited to the lower South. When planted 
alone, it requires 30 to 40 lbs. per acre. Half the quan¬ 
tity is sufficient when sown with small grains. Oats 
and vetch is a very desirable combina¬ 
tion and furnishes a perfectly balanced 
hay ration. Seed should be inocu¬ 
lated. Lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 75c. Not 
prepaid: 10 lbs. 75c; 25 lbs. $1.50; 
50 lbs. $2.40; 100 lbs. $4.50; 1,000 
lbs. $42.50.
