INDUCE FARMERS TO GROW
PURPLE NETCH FOR SEED

Due largely to the intermediary eff

purple Vetch is reported as being
grown this year for seed in north
western California for use in the or
chards Of the southern part of the
state, who're it has proven a superior
green-manure crop. The superiority
Of purple vetch in California fof
green manure lies in the fact that it
makes more growth during the win
ter months and can be TUNED under
earlier than other legumc crops.
Purple vetch was FIRST brought 20
this country from Italy in 1899 and
its advantages have been appreciated
ber number of years, but il was not
Possible to introduce it extensively
because Of scarcity Of seed. In the
region where il was most valuable il
has not been feasible to raise purple
1ctch seed in large quantities be-
cause Of climatic conditions. In the

can be crown successfully, but there

To make bridge between the two

been the work Of a number of years

ports. 1t was first necessary to dem
onstrato the value Of purple vctch in
the South. and afterwards to Undue,
northern farmers to substitute it 10
some extent for customary crops.
This latter was difficult, because pu..
pie Vetch was not quoted on the mar.
ket, and also because, where a sale
was effected, farmers were temped 10
sell their entire stock, rcserving no
seed to maintain or extend the acre
