CANADA FIELD PEAS (Early Green Feed) 
For cattle, sheep, hogs. Growth is rapid, gives green 
feed when other seedings are just starting. Sow 
early, with oats. Oats support the vines—make a 
palatable combination. 1% bushels each per acre. 
Drill peas 3” to 3%” deep. Then drill oats 14” to 2”. 
Pasture when about 1 foot high. Feed gradually 
to avoid bloating. After cut, new growth appears. 
LESPEDEZA (‘’KOREAN”) 
Great hay and pasture Legume. Will grow on poor, 
worn soils, or land too sour to grow clovers. Used 
in Delaware, Maryland and South. Good soil en- 
richer. An annual, killed by frost. Often reseeds 
itself. Drought resister. Sow 20-25 lbs. per acre. 
Inoculate. 
LESPEDEZA (“SERICEA”’) 
Lasts several seasons. Taller. Resembles Alfalfa in 
growth, but hay is more woody. Thrives on poor 
soils and in dry seasons. Real soil improver. Seed 
should be inoculated. 
SPRING VETCH 
Not winter hardy, but often used successfully among 
spring-sown emergency pastures. Makes good 
growth. 
WINTER (Hairy) VETCH 
Excellent for green feed when cut in full bloom, as 
hay when pods are about half formed, or as green 
manure. Good on sandy soils, or where Red Clover 
fails. Usually sown in late summer or early fall. Be 
sure to inoculate. Plant along with a small amount 
of wheat or rye. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
Valuable winter cover. Grows on soil too poor for 
Red Clover—is not particularly dependent on lime. 
Used for hay, pasture, or green manure. Useful in 
corn fields and orchards. Sown 20 pounds per acre, 
June to late August; matures following June. In- 
oculate. 
COW PEAS 
For pasture or hay, turning under or hogging down. 
Don't plant early, or seed will rot. For hay or green 
feed, sow 1 bushel with 3 pecks millet, cut when 
in bloom. Inoculate the seed.
