one of the best legumes and therefore a good soil builder.

VELVET BEANS 
Velvet Beans make a greater growth of 
vines than any other known forage plant in 
the same length of time, far surpassing any 
of the cow peas in growth. They should be 
planted in rows 3 to 6 feet apart, at the rate 
of one-half bushel to three pecks per acre. 
They are also fine for planting in corn. These 
Beans make wonderful grazing for all kinds 
of stock, and even after frost has killed the 
vines, stock will eat vines and beans and 
fatten on them. Such vines and roots as are 
left by stock should be plowed under, as they 
are very rich in fertilizing value. 
EARLY SPECKLED OR 100-DAY VINING 
VARIETY. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $1.50. Ask for prices on 
larger quantities. 
It Pays to Grow Cover Crops 
Many farmers fail to realize that every crop taken oflF their land car¬ 
ries with it plant food from the soil. Unless some method of returning 
this plant food is practiced, the supply gradually diminishes until the 
land can no longer furnish the required food and the crop yield grows 
smaller, finally resulting in complete failure. 
VETCH 
Vetch is another splendid variety of forage plant. It is very hardy, is valuable 
as a winter cover crop to prevent leaching and for forage and fertilizer purposes. 
HAIRY WINTER VETCH. May be sown 
either in spring or fall. When sown in spring 
it is ready to be cut by July; the second 
growth will make excellent pasture for late 
summer and fall use. Sow 50 to 60 pounds of 
Vetch with the same amount of oats, using 
the oats to support the Vetch. Lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 
50c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $3.00. Ask 
for prices on larger quantities. 
OREGON VETTCH. About the same as Hairy 
Vetch except not quite so hardy. Sow in spring 
as well as fall. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c, post¬ 
paid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Ask for 
prices on larger quantities. 
PURPLE VETCH. Resembles the Hairy 
Vetch, having a purple flower. It is slightly 
less hardy than the other Vetches, but goes 
through ordinary winters very successfully. 
Sow the samel as Hairy Vetch. A fine feed 
for milch cows in the spring is to sow a mix¬ 
ture of Vetches, Austrian Winter Peas and 
Oats and cut these as needed. Lb., 25c; 2 
lbs., 45c, postpaid. Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.50. 
Ask for prices on larger quantities. 
HUNGARIAN VETCH. Hungarian Vetch is 
earlier than Hairy Winter and is growing in 
demand. This variety is not recommended for 
poor sandy soils, does exceptionally well on 
better soils. Lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 45c, postpaid. 
Not prepaid, 20 lbs., $2.00. Please ask for 
prices in largrer lots.
