pointing, hut the yield of hay was ;
tremendous.
Last year I threshed the hay from:
seven acres and secured 3,500
p'ounds of seed or 500; pounds per
acre. This year my yield was: less
than 200 pounds and the quality not
so good. Last year, tho, my yield
of hay was ahout 1 to 1 tons
to the acre (the season was very dry)
while this year on- the same quality
of land it ran at least a ton hetter.
The growth was so rank in placea ;
that it came over my horse's hack.

left until spring; as we - did- not care
to damage the grain hy running the
wagon over it and these shocks were
completely hidden hy the vetch, (
v As to sowing the grain my . re
sults "are not in accord with those
of most writers. In seeding on good
land I would use the same quantity

I did not intend putting in the vetch a ? volunteer crop qf vetch
to come up which I turned Under the
lleve in sowing rye and do not mean
to . take issue with- Mr. Fant on : the
value of any crop for adding humus
to the-.soil, hut I do most : emphati
cally disagree with him when he says
that it is necessary to' sow rye on
poor soil before you make a success
of vetch. The view run with .Mr.
Smith's article was taken on , my
place and that particular field was
practically turned out when I took
the farm. I put it -in vetch to hring
it up, not preceeding it with any otl
er crops.. As Mr. Smith : stated, I
made' a; failure; of my first sowing
solely hecause I did not inoculate. I
-failed to Inoculate because I had a
field only & few yards away and I
thought that probably the inoculation
had been carried in some manner.
The second year, as ' Mr. Smith statr

crop. This I followed with peas.

pounds of vetch seed. My experience
has been that a light seeding of oats
would not support thev vetch and it ;
would fall down and cause yon to
lose - a large" portion of your crop. I
have yet to find the kind of land that
will not grow vetch successfully al
ways provided . you inoculate for it.
I have been growing vetch for a
numher of years but never take in
a new field without inoculating be
fore sowings : NThe . best form of in
oculation is from soir where the
vetch has been grown. , I have made
complete failures without Inocula

black as . my hat and the cotton is
lapping in four-foot tows. - Altho
the sand is a little bad : it. will make
me more than a bale to the acre. .This
is what one crop of vetch followed
by peas did; for an abandoned field.
My advise is to sow it anywhere: if
you only inoculate and prepare the
soil."
