Purple Vetch Holds Pro-
mise For Southwest
And Coast
It Has a High Feeding Value
And Makes a Good Green
Manure Crop

Purple vetch gives promise Of
being a valuable addition to the list
of crops that can be grown in the
South and Pacific Coast States, where
winters are not severe, according to
Farmers Bulletin OCT, just published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture.
This vetch, which is similar to the
common and hairy varieties but is less
hardy, was brought into the United
States by the Office of Foreign Seed
and Plant Introduction in 1899 from
Italy. In California, where expert
mental work has been conducted, it
has proved one of the best, if not the
best, crop for use as green manure
in orchards, and in commercial plant
ings it has been thought we'll of by
the farmers who have used it. In
western Oregon and western Wash
ington it can be grown successfully
as seed crop, the yields averaging
from IL to Is bushels an acre.
1t has not been sufficiently tested
in the Southern States to determine
definitely it's value in localities where
common vetch is now being grown,
but as it requires conditions similar
to the common varieties, according to
the bulletin, it seems probable that
it may serve an excellent purpose in
this region, as well as in the Western
United States. 1t is of high feeding
value and makes good hay in pastur-
age.
Stands IS Degrees Above Zero.
Under average conditions, purple
vetch will stand a winter temperature
of Is degrees above zero with little
or no injury. Where the tempera-
ture is not likely to fall below this
mark, it should be sown in the fall.
With colder winter conditions, spring
seeding is essential. In localities
where common vetch has been grown
successfully and the necessary bac-
terra have been established in the
soil, it is not necessary to inoculate
for purple vetch.
Purple vetch should be drilled in
close drills or broadcasted at the rate
of 60 to 80 pounds of seed per acre.
Harvesting can be done best with
common mower having swather at
tachment. 1t should be cut for hay
during the period from full bloom to
the formation of the first pods. The
yields average about 2 IL tons of
hay per acre. When harvesting for
seed, the crop should be cut soon
after the lower pods are ripe, at
which time the upper pods will be
mature and the plant will be carrying
maximum quantity of seed. Purple
vetch is less exacting as to the time
of cutting than common vetch, as the
seed skaters less readily. Thresh-
ing may be done with an ordinary
threshing machine.

KEEP ZINC AWAY.

Washington, D. C.-Do not use
galvanized utensils in making pre-
serves, jellies, or fruits, juices, the
Bureau Of Chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
vises. Some Of the zinc with which
the vessels are galvanized may be
changed to salts Of zinc, which will
give the product an acrid and astring-
en- taste and render it unsuitable for
human use. Moreover, the dissolving
of this zinc coating tends to ruin the
container. The use of galvanized
utensils for boiling down fruit juice
is especially risky.

WAR TALKS AT SCHOOL
Interesting Meeting Held Last Nigh,
at BclmOf1t Building.

At a regular meeting of the Bel
o school Parent Teachers associa.
ton held at the school, last night. the
problem of winning the war was the
keynote Of the various speeches
made.
and adopting a resolution in appreci-
alton OF. the work Of Leilah Halvor-,
son. former school nurse who is now
serving in the Red Cross ranks in
France, the association listened to an
interesting report of the schools war
activities, by Miss Whiteley, principal.
5. Torgerson gave an address on the
subject of thrift as an indispensable
asset of modern civilization, and W..
Nine" pointed out that the present
conflict embraces o merely military
armies. but entire peoples. Indi-
vidual consecration to high ideals was
described as. being very essential.
Some puzzling features of the new in
come tax law were explained by w.
"a. Mcintyre, one of the Four-Minute
Men, and the program closed with a
delightful piano solo given by Mildred
lOdell.
Earlier in the evening a program Of
vocal music was rendered by the pu-
pills of the eighth grade, followed by
community singing by all those pres
ent.
The resolution to Miss Hnlvorson
follows:
Whereas. Miss Leilah Halvorson
has responded to the call for nurses
to assist in h work of the Red Cross
in the war stricken countries Of
Europe, and .
Whereas. we feel highly honored
to have so capable and so noble a
woman as a representative of our
comnunity in this work, j..
Therefore. Be it Resolved, that
we. The Parent-Teachers' association
of the. Belmont school in the city of
Grand Forks. North Dakota, do here
by express u appreciation of the ex-
cellent. untiring and unseltish services
rendered freely at all times by Miss
Halvorson as School Nurse, both in
our schools and in the homes of our
community:
'"And, BE it Further Resolved, that
We extend to Miss Halvorson our
hearty greetings and sympathetic ap-
probation of the work in which she
is now engaged, and that we send her
our best wishes that she may find, in
4 her alienation of the suffering Of hu.
manity, a satisfaction and a happiness
(which. ma in a. measure compensate
for her noble sacrifice.
