the <br> crop in 50 days being two feet high After close <br> eating it can be left to prevent soil washing <br> during winter and early spring thus effecting <br> a great saving of soluble mineral fertilizers con- <br> tained in the soil The Department of Agricul- <br> ture at Washington estimates the value of a <br> plowed-under crop of this Vetch as equivalent to <br> putting into the ground 16 to 45 worth of com- <br> mercial fertilizer to the acre It is one of the <br> first plants to start into growth in spring cover- <br> ing the ground with a heavy crop early in May <br> in this section <br> Sowings may be made either in the fall or <br> spring using 30 lbs of seed to the acre either <br> broadcast or in drills three feet apart To get <br> the best result from it sow about one-half bushel <br> of Rye or Oats Avith it to furnish support for the <br> vines On good rich soil it yields enormous <br> crops of green fodder running from 10 to 15 tons <br> to the acre It is also a remarkable grower on <br> sandy and thin land <br> Per lb 15c ;
