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 downy 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 does not winter through. 
It will do well on poor 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. 
Sow from early spring until September. 4727—Ra-
