SPRING CROPS 
741 Ranke at the top as a winter lesume—the 
champion soil-improving crop. Turned under at 
the proper time it will double. and triple per acres 
yield of the following crop. Cut or grazed, com- 
bined with small grains, such as oats and rye, ar 
seeded alone, it_ furnishes splendid winter and 
spring pasture. Makes wonderful hay, very rich 
in protein; all stock relish it. Stands the severe 
winters in all parts_of the South without injury. 
Withstands drought. Grows on practically all 
types of soils. Does surprisingly well on poor, 
thin land. Prevents soil erosion. 
w during August through November at the 
Ee ot 20 pounds per acre in drills or 30 pounds 
proadcast. The three-row drill is well adapted for 
planting between eotton and corn rows. It in- 
sures uniform depth (2 inches) of covering, and 
also an even distribution of seed, and makes it 
possible to’ sow. vetch before all the cotton 18 
‘picked. Apply superphosphate or its equivalent 
of basic slag at the rate of 300 to. 400 Ibs. per 
acre on all the thinner, impoverished up and soils, 
No commercial fertilizers are needed for this crop 
on our alluvial Soils, nor on. the more fertile 
upland soilsr especially where the legume crop 
follows a crop of cotton or corn which received 
a liberal application of superphosphate and 
some potash. 
When Vetch produces 15 to 20 Ibs. of green 
matter per 100. square feet, the crop may be 
turned under. This is usually during early April. 
It will decay sufficienfly in about two weeks to 
plant your.corn or cotton, or some other summer 
erop.

729 The cost per acre of planting Hungarian Vetch’ 
is much less than Hairy Vetch. It matures fully two 
weeks earlier than Hairy, which permits getting the 
succeeding crop in sooner.. It also makes more early 
growth than Hairy. In the famous ‘Delta’ of Mis- 
sissippi more than half of the acreage sown to winter 
cover crops is Hungarian Vetch. Tests conducted 
at the Alabama Experiment Station, Auburn, proved 
conclusively that” Hungarian has proven dependable 
and made the best general average of the three 
opular Jegumes. The Louisiana Experiment Sta- 
ion reports: ‘‘We consider it equally as valuable 
and desirable as either Hairy Vetch or Austrian 
Winter Peas and would recommend it over either of 
them in cases where a saving on the cost of the seed 
ean be securec.. It is probably more resistant to acid 
soil conditions than any of the. others and is also 
very aphis resistant.” Recommended for the alluvial 
and rich lands, and not for the poorer grade sandy 
soils. Plant until December, but the earlier the

Experiment Station claims that Common ote sed

Hungarian variety does well and in most, areas where 
Hairy is generally grown. Common Vetch prefers 
sandy loams that are well-drained. However, it will 
produce good crops on most other soils where

limited to the lower South. When planted along
