It is also valuable for spring pasturage and hay, and when turned under it the best green-manure crop that can be grown. It thrives in almost any soil, and the land will be greatly benefited even when the crop has been grown for hay. The seed may be sown any time from the middle of August until about October 1st, either broadcast or drilled, using seed at the rate of one bushel (60 lbs.) to the acre, and where the crop is to be grown for hay, add one bushel of either Rye, Oats or Wheat to the acre, to help in kee|)ing the vines off the ground, othetwise there will be difficulty in mowing the crop. It is important to use the genuine Winter Vetch (Vicia villosa) for fall sowing, as other varieties will not stand cold weather. We make a specialty of this seed, and will be pleased to quote price for any quantity desired. Leaflet on Vetch free. CRIMSOX OR When sown early enough.
