It was named and is now on the certified list for the ■ > state of Nebraska. It is entirely winter hardy, reseeds readily 'hnd ^produces well on i ■ land too sandy for anything else but rye. It will also do well on land that has very , . poor fertility and can be used as a beginning for rebuilding soil. It will prepare the 1 ground for the next crop by bringing up the nutrients in the soil to a level where I i alfalfa and other legumes can be grown. i 1 . 1 Advantages of Vetch i 1 1. It will grow on very light, sandy soil. • 1 * 2. The seed loses very little viability, (even after five years. , I 3. Can be sown with Rye in the early fall. The following spring it may be pas tured, made into hay, allowed to produce seed, or be plowed under as a green manure. 1 1 4. May be combined for a seed cash crop and will bring good returns, even at • 1 8-16 cents per pound , • t ■ W Soil Requirements o Vetch has a definite place on sandy soils that are too light for Alfalfa and C! ^ Clover. It is not a substitute for Alfalfa or Clover on livestock farms, but does *—j CO provide erosion control, adds nitrogen to the soil, and produces hay or pasture. Vetch is a legume and will furnish its own nitrogen. Although it will grow ^ Q well on unlimed soil, the crop will be more profitable if lime is added. m 2 S ^ Seedbed r , The seedbed must be quite firm, therefore, the preparation is simple. A disc, ^ E^ spring-tooth harrow, or field cultivator will stir the ground enough. Vetch may be sown on this ground directly. Harrow Or roll in.» ^ <-> pi ) Drilling Seed J I Drill both Rye (the nurse crop) and Vetch together about the last ten days of August or the first of September. Seed may be drilled at the rate of 10 to 20 1 pounds of Vetch and 60 pounds of Rye. Vetch should always be grown with Rye 1 • because: If Vetch winter kills, Rye will still cover the soil and produce grain or I l pasture; Rye holds the Vetch vines off the ground and makes harvest easier; Vetch , , starts late in the spring while Rye startsi early. Cattle will graze the Rye until it becomes mature. Vetch is then making its best growth and is readily grazed. When 1 1 Vetch is planted alone, 40 pounds per acre are drilled using an ordinary grain drill. I > i i Vetch Must Be Inoculated > • It is always necessary to inoculate the first seding of Vetch. Sowing should I i be done when the soil is moist. Dry hot soil will reduce, if not destroy, the bacteria. • i Nitragin is to be recommended for inoculating this crop. 1 From the World's Largest Processors of Madison Vetch » : Koinzan-Jochum Seed Co. • | ELGIN, NEBRASKA PHONE 132-J | 1__.3 A VS ONV J.HD-‘ O
