Can be grown on practically any kind of soil 
provided it is fairly moist, will not endure wet 
soils. It is one of the most drouth resistant of the 
cultivated grasses. Makes a quick start after 
pasturing and stands pasturing well. One of the 
first grasses to start in the spring and the last to 
die in the fall. 
Timothy (Phileum Pratense). 15 pounds per 
acre. A Perennial grass having a very short root 
stock and therefore grows in more or less com- 
pact tuffs. The stems which usually reach a 
height of from 1 to 4 feet or more are smooth and 
generally erect. The leaves are generally short 
compared with the height of the plant. Timothy 
is adapted to cold, moist or wet lands also heavy 
clay soils. However, does not thrive on sour soils 
or impoverished sandy or shallow soils. Al- 
though root system is shallow it stands drouth 
fairly well. It is very resistant to cold. 
Soy Beans. 50 pounds per acre. The Soy Bean 
is a leguminous Annual growing to a height of 
10 inches or more depending on soil conditions. 
The plant is erect and branching, quite leafy and 
producing numerous pods. The leaves vary in 
size and color depending on the variety. Soy 
Beans are a promising emergency leguminous 
hay crop for various places here in the North- 
west. 
Soy Beans grow on rather a wide range of 
soils, are quite drouth resistant, and will stand 
excess moisture providing the water does not 
stand for any considerable length of time. 
Should be sown about corn planting time, 
rows about three feet apart and the seed about 3 
or 4 inches apart in the row. 
Vetches make excellent feed, either green or as 
hay, and are also exceedingly useful as cover 
and green manure crops. They are usually 
seeded with grain, oats being the favorite for the 
reason separation is easily made when harvest- 
ing vetch for a seed crop. 
Common Vetch. The most important annual 
legume grown in Oregon, used extensively as a 
green feed crop for spring and summer, also 
makes an excellent green manure and cover 
crop. Vetch is best suited to a moist cool climate 
free from extremes of heat or cold during the 
growing season. Is adapted to heavy well 
drained soils. The stems are slender growing 
from 3 to 5 feet or more in length, semi-erect. 
The leaves are pinnate, with about seven pairs 
of leaflets and a terminal tendril. The flowers 
are violet purple rarely white and are borne in 
pairs on a very short stalk. 
Hungarian Vetch. A fine stemmed annual 
making a semi-erect growth 21% to 4 feet in 
length and somewhat hairy overall. The flowers 
are brownish white in color and are borne in 
groups of from two to eight. Hungarian Vetch 
is quite winter hardy and is adapted to a wide 
range of soils, lands with poor drainage and 
lands that are heavy, sour and white will often 
produce crops of Hungarian Vetch while other 
crops have failed. 
Hairy Vetch, also known as Sand Vetch. The 
stems are slender, usually growing to an aver- 
age length of 6 to 8 feet. The leaves are narrow, 
violet blue borne on long stems in dense one- 
sided clusters of about 30. Hairy vetch is quite 
winter hardy rarely winter killing if well estab- 
lished in the fall, adapted to a wide range of soils 
doing best on sandy or sandy loams but does not 
succeed in very wet soils. 
Austrian Winter Field Peas. A true winter 
variety. Plants resulting from fall seedings pass 
through a definite period of winter dormancy 
before growth begins in the spring. The plants 
are viny, generally similar to other varieties of 
field peas under average conditions attain a 
length of 3 to 4 feet. The blooms are purple. The 
peas are very hardy, zero temperatures do little 
damage unless freezing and thawing periods are 
severe. They are adapted to well drained clay 
and sandy loams. The Austrian pea is used for 
all types of forage such as hay, silage, soiling 
and pasture. 
Canadian Field Peas. Quite similar to the Aus- 
trian Winter Field Pea. The stems and leaves 
are somewhat larger and the blooms are white. 
The variety is not winter hardy, being adapted 
only to moderate temperatures. They do best on 
loams or clay loams but will succeed on most 
types of soil if well drained. 
The Canadian Field Pea is used for practically 
the same purposes as the Austrian in general 
farming. Both varieties are usually sown with a 
small grain crop. i
