The Sand Vetch and Winter Wheat furnished us last year gave excellent satisfaction—we cut from 12 to jg 
tons of green fodder to the acre , and not being in a position to use all as green fodder , we cured it and the cattle eat 
it as well as they eat clover mixed hay. I will want seed enough to sow iy to 20 acres this fall. 
Yours truly ,
