GROW VETCH IN WISCONSIN
Farmer Gives Interesting Experiment
Made With Crop Planted To-
csther With Clover.

Dy W. A HARRINGTON. Wisconsin,
Having experienced a little difficulty
In keeping q small tract Of rather In
accessible Land In the required state
OF fertility. we tried vetch. both
spring and winter varieties. The
scotsman instructed US to grow It with
q nurse crop of oats.
We were told that vetch would not
thrive In our Wisconsin Attitudes, and
for time we were willing to believe
1t. The vetch we started with the Data
did not get start at all. although the
season was comparatively moist.
However, one despised acre. an ex-
pertinent on our own part, which we
had planted to a mixture of clover and
winter vetch, finally rounded In shape.
1t had fingered long, when suddenly
both clover and vetch took a notion
to grow.
In August there was magnificent
stand of forage, all of which was
plowed under Thus, although we lost
a seasons crop from that acre. the i'm
provement of filth and fertility re-
sulting amply repaid the loss. Next
spring we will put in more vetch and
clover.
