SAND VETCH 
The Great Soil Reclaimer and Drought Resister 
Often called Hairy Vetch because of its downy or hairy stems 
aid also called Winter Vetch, as when sown in the fall, it lives 
hrough 0;e severest winters and completes its growth the follow¬ 
ing spring. Planted in spring, however, it makes its full growth 
in the same year, and then does not winter through. 
Sand Vetch is a heavy carrier of root tubercles which makes 
it one of the very best soil builders! It will do well on poor land, 
and especially on sandy land, enriching it more than any other 
crop. Onoe established, it resists almost any summer heat or 
drought. Sand Vetch will supply abundant green forage from early 
spring until fall! It is a tremendous yielder, producing up to 15 
and 20 tons green forage per acre. The hay contains 19.9% crude 
protein. If grown for hay, leave standing until the seed pods are 
about half formed; at this stage it is easily cut with a mowing 
machine or pea harvester, and quickly cured. If to be fed green, 
it should he cut when in full bloom. May be grazed in early spring 
without greatly reducing the hay crop, or it will give some pasture, 
after cutting. It gives one cutting a season. 
Inoculate before planting. Sow 45 to 00 pounds with one bushel 
grain, preferably Oats, Barley or Bye. Drill in 1 to 2 in. deep. Or 
broadcast by hand or with a hand seeder and cover with a disk 
harrow. Sown with Oats or Barley, Vetch has something on which 
to climb and the grain also furnishes variety in pasture. May be 
sown from early spring until September.
