CO RVALLIS—An Improved strain
of common vetch which is winter
hardy, recently christened "W illam
ette Vetch,” by its originators at
Oregon State college, will be in com
mercial production in 1939, accord
ing to H. A. Schoth, federal agron
omist at the station.
The new vetch is a selection from
common vetch made first at Cor
vallis in 1921. It has been grown by
Schoth ever since, gradually being
increased and purified, until it is
now a distinct strain. In the south,
where most of Oregon’s vetch seed
Is used for cover crop purposes, the
Willamette vetch has proved unusu
ally hardy and has even withstoond
winter temperatures as far north as
Maryland, federal specialists in the
east report.
Because of the recent discovery of
the vetch weevil on hairy vetch, it
is possible that the new variety may
be used extensively as a substitute.
The vetch weevil has never been
found attacking the common vetch,
being confined to the hairy vetch
and hairy podded vetch.
A considerable quantity of the
Willamette vetch was grown In
Washington county this year on
clean land, making possible the cer
tification of the seed by the exten
sion service.

Ample Range, Shade, Green

By C. F . Parrish. Extension Poultryman.
North Carolina State College.
WNO Service.
Poultry authorities agree that ade
quate range, shade, and green feed
are three essentials for well-man
aged flocks during the hot summer
months.
When growers are ready to mar
ket their birds, those who have been
careful to observe these essentials
will find they have been well paid
for their efforts.
Where home-mixed rations for
pullets are used, the following grow
ing mash is recommended:
35
pounds No. 2 yellow corn meal, 20
pounds standard wheat middlings,
20 pounds No. 2 heavy oats finely
pulverized, 12 pounds standard
wheat bran, 4 pounds fish meal (55
