Miller who harvested slightly more
than three and a half tons of thor?
oughly dry vetch hay from one acre
of lajid, has encouraged fifteen or
more farmers to try the experiment

priSS of $50 for the greatest yield
from ons acre and this hay been an?
other incentive for progressive farm?
ers to try the new forage crops. The
vetch is planted in October or Novem
bei and is harvested in the lit?
ter part of April or first of May. glv.ng
ample time after the vetch is re?
moved for another crop to be planted
