VETCH GOOD FOR SOIL ( COMMISSIONED (Concluded from First Page) uake it produce a crop of fertilizer or most crops without interfering nuch with the regular crop. If this s going to be a dairy country, I elieve vetch will be a very import nt crop in a few years. If vetch ill double your corn crop it will ertainly be worth while exped ient ing with. "Besides being very valuable as a irtilizer vetch is quite useful as a eed too. I have made no experi lenti with vetch on dry land, but e i-.o reason why it should not row there. If seeded before the all rains it ought to make good tasture in the siuing. As the price of sand vetch seed isually is high, there ought to be g 1 toney in raising the seed, but be wind and hot weather often uins the crop and the risk is about qua) lo the extra grain, hut if railed on a small scale, so one can handle it at the right time, it will five a very handsome profit at the present prices. "Ei 1 iv farmer on the project OUghl I" seed a COUple of acres lo vetch and give it a fair I rial. There straw worth practically nothing and planted the land to potatoes anu killed all the old vetch plants, how ever, there was sufficient seed left in the ground to grow a fair stand ol new plants, and as I never cultivat ed the potatoes during the entire sea son it was an awful mess by fall. I cut and raked off as much as 1 could and found that I had about 200 sacks of potatoes off that one acre, they sold for $2 per sack, again net ing about $200 per acre outside ol labor and seed. Now I have again a lair stand of vetch in the ground which I expect to plow down in the spring and try the land for potatoes once more as it is free from dis eases. In the spring of 1920 I planted 2 acres to alfalfa, vetch and oats and when the oats was ready to cut I cut it lor hay, but there was so much ol 11 and it was tangled that it cos about as much to cut it as it was worth. But as the vetch was younf: and never bad a chance to go to seed that season it kept right on growing like rye would do, and in July 1921 I cut the two. acres after it was rip and got about 4 tons of hay and straw per acre, about half was rather woody alfalfa and the balance vetch for I hereby announce myself as a didatO for the nomination to the Ice ot County Commissioner, sub t to the v, in pf the Republicans Morrow county, to be expressed the Primarl J in May, 1 922.

This gave i.ie half of a stand of vetch Alter it matured in the Summer of 191S 1 disced it down and got a fine stand. In May, 1919 I cut first crop for hay and had RhOttt a ton of rather poor hay, tin lecdnd (top produced almost a full crop of seed which I phlailed by land and I got about 150 lbs. of e -d out of one a re and sold it for $LTi per cwt. netting about $200 per acre outside ol labor. At the same time 1 had seeded some small and unmarketable seed for ooverorop tot a It alia and found that )t did prottj Melt toe., teed, but it proved to contain about 108 lbs. of seed per ton of niixturi or about 430 lbs, per acre.

Nugent has been quite lil ail without tramping it until next day, week with the old 1918 flu. thus giving it a chance to cure in the stack. When cutting the mixture I found that the alfalfa shades the pods and prevents them from pop ping about a week later than when rowing it pure, also alfalfa keeps it a few inches off the ground mak ing it easier to cut. The mixture can be cut any time during the day and left 2 4 hours in the shock, and hen stacked in similar way, it be ing so fluffy, it cures fine in the tack in spite of the alfalfa. When dleton Friday ending crop is removed, spring- 'ooth field and irrigate, and the etch will merely spread a little on he ground like late planted rye, and ,ot interfere with the two next rops. By springtoothing the round we get a lot of leaves in he ground and such a mixture hould enrich the ground at least wice as fast as pure alfalfa. As the vetch seed crop is har vested in between first and second utting of alfalfa, the mixture alfalfa 'ill be ready to cut at odd times too lie last two crops, thus stretching iie cutting season out and enabling he farmer to put up part of his hay fter Tie regular rush is over. The above experiments were con 'ucted on slightly snbirrigated and and might turn out different on and entirely dependent on irriga ion. I never tried planting late potatoes fter vetch, but I believe it could be one, by not cutting first cutting of ay, getting the seed crop off as early i possible and plant potatoes right v.vay. Without cutting it first it aatures around July 5-10, second utting pure vetch matures about 'uly 2 0-2 5, and mixture matures ibout July 10-15. On land depend int on irrigation it matures about a week earlier. I also believe it could be pastured town close until May 5 and still pro- luce a full crop of seed with a ml limum of stray, thus eliminating first cutting and be sure to go to seed too than by cutting it.

I have also experimented wit! hairy vetch on dry land, hut this far I have been able to keep it alive onh to June, like alfalfa, and have nfft ticcecded in making it go to seed, hut then the weather has been con nary, and other circumstances so unfavorable that I have not yet given up hope. Another thing in favor of vetch in combination with dairying is the pas- 1 hi-,' with alfalfa, however. tUTO.

I cut it a week or two too lute and did not mow enough- seed worth while threshing. In the meantime 1 also found out that we can get rid of vetch eirily in the alfalfa, by cutting the alfalfa at the regular time, thus preventing the vetch from going to seed. . In the fall of 1920 1 glowed down the stubbles and seed of the one acre vetch ground, the seed cume up so thick that the ground was lit erally chokefull of stems, I plowed down thLi crop in the spring of 1921 poor pasture in Comparison with clo ver and bluegrass. it has the advan tagM that it is 2-3 weeks oariier in (he spring and months later in the fall as it does not wilt by getting $ little frost, in fact in mild weather it grows right along lik? rye, and while tt is possible less nourishing than other pastures, specially after crowing ti inches or more, it is pre ferred bystock while it is young and tender and can stand a lot of pasture from Oct. 1 to April 15. In many ways hairy vetch acts lik erye and can be handled in similar way ex cept when cutting it for seed. When cutting it for seed graat care must be taken to cut it at the right time, and get it in the stack as quickly as possible When cut ting pure vetch for seed I usually cut tt in the morning, shock it after the mower and stack it In the after--.oon, or else cut it late in the even- : For Lumber, Building Material and anything; usually carried in a Modern Uptodate Lumber Yard it See W.
