Vetch l» readily adapted

St iias been terted in other
sections on heavy, black

fact, the better the soil the
better Vetch seems to do.

One cf the bis objections
some farmers have had to
winter cover ciops, such as
peas, was the fact that they
come times lost n spring
crop Iri the process of de-
stroying the peas. Vetch
planted in San Patricio Co.
this year has been planted
on the sides of the beds,, thus
allowing destruction with a
row n»k leaving the residue
on the top of the soil and
the bed that was put up in
August firm and moist tor
planting of the Spring crop.
Plarcfrmg Time
Vetch was planted in San
Patricio County last year by
farmers in September and
early October and is doing
well.
Seed Rate
Approximately 20 oojnds
per acre used on both sides
of the midd'e has proven to
be satisfactory in this area.

Dave Cdem, Right, is going over features of a stand of Vetch on the Odem farm
: west of Hubert Swith with Otto Ediger, work unit conservationist of the San Patt.cio
I Soil Conservation District. As can be seer, in the picture where the Vetch has been
; parted, the grtiwth has covered the top of the bed as well as covering the middle,
! and this in spite of the fact that moisture conditions on the Cdern farm have not been
' ideal in the cast few months Mr. Odem planted this patch of Vetch in early October .
; using 200 pounds of 16-20-0 per acre. He plans to plant cotton on the land this spring, j
; ___________________________£
Vetch is well adapted to
south central Texas. Since
it needs about 25 inches of
rainfall annual!)' it seems to
fit into the picture in this
county.
VETCH Will Make YOU MONEY
Vetch lias proven to be one of the best sot!
building wirier legumes used in other sec
lions cf the country and shows promise of
working exceptionally well in this County.
Since it requires fertilizer at the time of
planting if affords one of the best known
methods to introduce fertilizer into the soil
thus further adding to its natural soil build-
ing habits. Being a fibrous rooted plant it
therefore adapts itself well to planting on the
sides of the middles, thus allowing destruc-
tion easily writh a row' disk leaving the seed
bed unspoiled for spring planting.
