to predict that there ii is destined
to become the leading grass for hay
production. Under more humid
conditions it has also succeeded
admirably and will probably replace
foXtail millets to a large extent, as
it produces better hay and usually
larger yields.
There is still much to learn in
+, regard to the crop, but it has been
tested most carefully in Texas, as
well as at Arlington Farm, Va,
and has had at least years trial
at many places on the great plains
and at various agricultural expert,
ment stations, and the data at hand
indicate approximately the best
methods of culture.
Under light rainfall conditions, it
is probably best to SOW Sudan grass
in rows, yet excellent results have
been secured in dry regions from
broadcasting, and the grass grown
that way does not become too coarse
for palatable hay. Although very
similar in appearance to Johns n
grass, it is considered far superior
as forage crop, as it is more
bunchy, putting out more stems
and many more leaves. Horses and
cows eat it greedily, none of the
stems. which contain great deal
of sugar, being wasted, as is often
the case with the coarser grasses.
While the above is. true as to
conditions in the semiarid section
as to the benefit to be secured from
this new grass introduced from
Africa, the southeast has also been
supplied with a particularly salts
factory forage plant for its humid
climate in the vetch. The southeast
is not grass country, but vetch is.
grown on practically every type of
soil in North Carolina. South Caro-
lima and Georgia, and should come
to occupy an important place in the
agriculture of these states. 1t has
high protein content. is a good
hay, pasture, and soiling crop, and
its more general. growth will aid in
the development of the livestock in
dustry, which bids fair to be of big
agricultural interest at no distant
date.
Like all legumes, vetch improves
land, and as it grows through the
winter and spring it makes an ideal
cover crop to prevent teaching and
washing, and may be harvested in
time to plant corn. cowpeas, cotton
beans on the same land.
Of the the three kinds of vetch
cultivated in the South Atlantic
States. hairy vetch or sand vetch,
has n much wider adaptability, and
is for general purposes superior to
either the narrow-leaved vetch. or
common vetch, although the latter
is earlier, more easily handled and
less expensive to seed.
On land that has never grown
vetch. it must, like all legumes. be
given the nitrogen. gathering bacter-
Ia, which appropriate the nitrogen

or by using soil from a field where

and the latter method is more uni

The experience of farmers shows
that all kinds of stock will eat vetch,
that by proper inoculation and seed
