Plant Peas Deep.

In an article recently written ON the cul-
ture Of early peas, we recommended that
they heplnted deep, say rs low as four
to six inches We find the following in
confirmation Of these views
The theory recently advocated, of plan
ting peas very deeply in the earth, in or
der to proloug the bearing capacity of
the vines. has also been well tested and
found to Toe correct \ farmer told me
that he ploughed a furrow beam deep,
then scattered the seed peas nj the bot
tom, after which he tanned q deep furrow
upon them with his plough. covering
them, if possible, to the depth of twelve
or fourteen inches. They pushed their
way up through the thick mass of earth
very soon. and. instead of turning vel
low at the bottom, and dying after the
first gathering. they hlossomed and bore
until he was tried Of picking the pods.
II such q result will uniformly be real
lied from the plan. pea culture may be
more profitable than hitherto.
