VETCHES
pes GRAY VETCH—Is also known as
Oregon or Common Vetch. Adapted to either fall
or spring planting and well adapted to all vetch
growing sections. More Gray Vetch is grown than
all other varieties put together. It furnishes excellent feed in great abundance.
HUNGARIAN VETCH—A variety perfected by
the Oregon Agricultural College that is aphisresistant and adaptable to culture on low, wet and
sour soils as well as heavy muck lands. It is a
heavy yielder of both forage and seed and even
in bad aphis years is free from this pest.
PS PURPLE VETCH—This variety is not
so well adapted to forage production, but seeds
heavy on uplands of the Oregon and Washington
Coast. Its principal use is as a cover crop in California’s citrus proves.
HAIRY VETCH—Also called Winter Vetch,.is a
biennial and is sown in the fall like any winter
grain. Because the seed is much smaller than Gray
Vetch, less pounds of seed are required per acre;
thirty to forty pounds per acre with grain is sufficient to insure a good crop. Hairy Vetch is used
extensively for cover crops in the orchard districts.
It roots deeply, makes good winter growth and is
adapted to sandy soils.
MONANTHA VETCH—Is a_ winter annual.
Plants are -vining, stems small and weak, 2 to 3
feet in length; leaves numerous with small leaflets;
seeds mottled light brown, round, flattened, resembling lentils. Pods do not shatter readily. As
winter hardy as Common or Oregon Vetch, makes
best growth on reasonably fertile, well drained
land. Is not adaptable for spring seeding, except
possibly in some of the cool, moist Coast sections.
Seed in early fall (Sept. 15-Oct. 15). Grown primarily for seed production, although produces excellent forage when seeded with winter oats.
