HAIRY VETCH AS A FORAbE CROP Within the past year or two there have been printed in farm papers a number of articles testifying to the value of vetch as a green manuring plant. These results seem to be well corroborated. The Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station has been growing vetch for several years, and since many inquiries have been made concerning vetch, this brief statement is made concerning the plant. Hairy vetch is a legume belonging to the same family of plants as the clovers, soy beans, and cow peas. It is also known by 'the names of winter vetch and sand vetch. The plant has beautiful purple blossoms gathered in a cluster, compound leaves with six or eight leaflets, and weak stems. The roots are fibrous and rather coarse. The plant has a tendency to grow jjiroughout the summer, having sipe seed and blossoms on the stem at. the same time. The plant seems to be adapted to all types of soil, preferably the clay loam, well d r ained. Land for vetch should be plowed and prepared the same as for sowing wfceat. Thorough disking mas

also make a good seed bed, depending upon conditions. Vetch may also be sown in standing corn. The sowing is best done with a drill, sowing from 40 to 60 pounds of seed per acre. The month of August is preferable for sowing, although early September sowing may also be satisfactory. After sowing, the crop will need no further attention. The plant starts growing early in the spring and makes rapid growth, and is ready to pasture or turn under by the middle of April, at which time the growth should be as much as 12 inches to 18 inches in length. Hairy vetch is probably better for green manuring than for any other purpose, although some farmers have had good results from pasturing it with hogs and cattle. However, some farmers have found that their animals do not relish the plant as a pasture. If rye is sown with the vetch ir tends to hold the vetch up, and the crop may be cut for green feed at about the time the rye is beginning to head. It makes very good feed for dairy cattle. In 1910 the Station obtained from a mixture of rye and vetch, green weight of six tons per acre, equivalant to about two and three fourths tons of dry hay. In 1911 the yield was eight and one fourth tons of green weight, equivalent to about (Concluded on Last Page)

SIJ OH PENSION BILL BEPOmtOMIW The Invalid Pensions Committee of the House of Representatives, of which Gen I. R. Sherwood, of Ohio, is Chairman, has agreed on a dollar-a-dav service and disability pension bill which will be favorably reported before the close of the present special session of Congress that it may be on the calendar ready for consideration in the regular session which opens early in December. The principal sections of the bill are as follows: “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that any person who served in the military or naval service of the United States during the late Civil War, and who has been honorably discharged therefrom, shall, upon making proof of such facts according to such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Interior may provide, be placed on the, pension roll and be entitled to receive a pension as follows: For a service of ninety days or more and less than six months, fifteen dollars per month; for a service of six months or more and less than nine months, twenty dollars per month; for a service of nine months or more and less than one year, twenty-five dollars per month; for a service of one year or more, thirty dollars per month: Provided, That no one who shall be in receipt of a pension of twenty-five dollars or more per month under this Act, shall be entitled to admission or residence in the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers; and no State or Territorial home for disabled soldiers and sailors shall receive any aid from the General Government on account of any person who shall be in receipt of a pension of twentyfive dollars per month or more under this Act. “Sec. 2. That any peison who served in the Civil War and received an honorable discharge and who was wounded in battle or in line of duty, and is now unfit for manual labor, through causes not due to vicious habits, or who from disease or other causes incurred in line of duty resulting in his disability now to perform manual labor, shall be paid the maximum pension under this Act* to wit, thirty dollars per month* without regard to his length of service.

“Sec. 3. That no one shall be rn titled to pension under this Act who is in receipt of an annual net income of one thousand dollars or more, exclusive of any pension he may receive. “Sec. 4. That no person shall receive a pension under any other law at the same time or for the same period he is receiving a pension under the provisions of this Act.” It will be observed that the bill not only gives a dollar a day to all soldiers who served a year or more, but it gives a dollar a day to all who are now disabled from wounds or disabilities contracted in the service. The bill leaves it optional with soldiers whether they accept the provisions of this bill or continue under the law under which they are now pensioned, as the present specie 1 act, disability, age and widows pension laws are not repealed.
