Description: A map of the United States from the U. S. Department of Agriculture (1922) showing leguminous hay production in 1919. "Leguminous hays are splendid feed for dairy animals, and where they can be grown successfully are replacing other hays. West of the Missouri River the leguminous hay is almost wholly alfalfa, east of the Missouri and north of the Cotton Belt it is mostly timothy and clover mixed and clover alone. Clover includes red, alsike, and crimson clover and several other legumes of less importance. The scattered dots in the Cotton Belt represent mostly cowpeas and soybeans cut for hay, and lespedeza." — United States Department of Agriculture Yearbook 1922, 1923.
