far north as corn and as far south as cotton, they

soil. Cut for hay any time after the pods begin to 
form. Sow 45 lbs. in drills per acre, or 2 bu. (120 lbs.) 
broadcast. Inoculate with Uni-Culture before plant-

SAND VETCH 
Often called Hairy Vetch because of its ilowny or 
hairy stems and also called Winter Vetch, as when 
sown in the fall, it lives through the severest winters. 
Planted in spring, it makes its full growth in the same 
year, and then d4»es 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 po,or land, and especially on sandy 
land, enriching it more than any other crop. Inoculate 
before planting. Sow 50 pounds with one bushel grain, 
preferably Oats, Barley or Rye. Drill in 1 to 2 in. deep.
