ture.)
Common vetch is nearly always
grown in rotation. Continuous crop
ping to vetch for seed production usu-
ally results in reduced yields after
TWO or three years, according to Ore
gon experience. The effects OF cut
ting the crop for hay seem to be far
less marked. but, nevertheless. con-
tinuous cropping to yetchfi is unneces-
sary and undesirable.
In Oregon and Washington common
vetch is usually grown after spring
sown oats. 1t is advantageously used
also in rotation with potatoes or corn.
In the region about Augusta. Ga,
the most famous vetch-growing sec
ton In the south. the crop is mostly
grown in rotation with Johnson grass,
this being especially true on valley
lands where the Johnson grass volun-
teers. Vetch, commonly mixed with
oats or other small grain, is usually
planted in October on well-prepared
land and harvested by the middle of
May. After the vetch crop is remov-
ed, the Johnson grass, more or less
mixed with other grasses, begins to
grows and commonly yields two hay
cuttings during the season.
Where Johnson grass does not per-
manently occupy the land it is not ad-
vlsable to SOW ii, as ii is extremely
difficult to eradicate In this case va
rious summer crops can be grown in
the rotation, such as sorghum, COW
peas. sorghum and cowpeas. soy
beans, peanuts, etc.
Common vetch is not well adapted
to rotating with cotton unless used
merely as a green manure. The vetch
cannot be harvested soon enough to
permit the early planting of cotton.
even when the seed is sown between
the rows of cotton.
Common vetch is somewhat in
clined to persist when once grown.
especially where the winters are mild.
Examples are known of it's reseeding
itself in pastures for five years. In
cultivated fields it volunteers readily.
which is especially Objectionable in
the wheat crop owing to the Difficult
ty of separating the vetch seed from
the wheat. There is no danger of vol
unteeT vetch unless a seed crop is
grown or at least some of the seed al
lowed to ripen. In such cases. to
avoid volunteer vetch, the best plan
is to follow with a crop of vetch and
oats for hay. pasturing the stubble.

HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLEs

Hyattsville, Md.-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his bead
about the size of ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal. His
head had gotten so that it was just a
mass of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. / really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for FIVE weeks. it
would itch and burn until / thought
he would go into commissions.
Il used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction. Then l decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
Finally / noticed he began to sleep all
night. / used one cake of Cuticura
Soap and one box of Cuticura ONT

Gus weed seeds which are few or
wanting in the best vetch seed. Some
of these are generally recognized as
noxious. and seed containing them
should not be sown-
Corn cookie, or cookie, seeds prob
ably are the commonest of the weed
seeds with vetch seed, particularly
seed of hairy vetch- This seed Is
recognized by it's spiny surface, angu-
lar form, and dark-brown or black
color
Cow cookie seeds, often referred to
as cookie, differ from the preceding
in being spherical and not spiny.
They are black and about the size OF
the smallest hairy vetch seeds.
The seeds of cleavers are somewhat
hemispherical, the flattened face hav-
ing depression or cavity at the scar.
The surface is roughened and gray
or light brown The gray color aids
in distinguishing these seeds from
vetch seed.
Field bindweed seeds are angular.
brown or gray. the surface being hne-
ly roughened. They are similar In
form TO those of the morning-glory
They are not comghon in vetch seed.
except in low-grade lots.
Ball mustard seeds are Enclosed
singly in small. straw-colored or
brown, net-veined pods. The pods are
somewhat fiattened and are about the
size of the smaller hairy vetch seeds
English charlock, or wild mustard,
seeds occur in some lots of poorly
cleaned seed of hairy vetch. The char
lock seeds are smaller than those OF
hairy vetch, and they are spherical,
black or brown They should not be
confounded with the previously de-
scribed COW cookie seeds. which are
larger.
Wild cat seeds are similar to the
seed of the cultivated oat, but can be
distinguished by the cup-shaped scar
at the base. This seed is either brown
or straw colored. Some seeds have
brownish hairs, and twisted avn
from near the middle is more or less
evident
Darnel seeds are similar to those OF
rye-grass, but are larger and heavier
The slender avn is often broken from
the apex of the seed.
