For more than fifteen years tn,
Agricultural Editor of this paper
has been both by precept anf
example, advocating the more gen

preciate the true value of this great
boon, is the sugar planting commu.
nifty, and there is a thousand bushels
of peas sold in the New Orleans
market to the sugar men, where
there is one bushel disposed of, to
the average corn and cotton planter,
who need them most, and there is
not one in ten of this class of per
sons who save seed enough to re-
plant. much less send to market
The farmers of Tennessee, and States
on the Atlantic seaboard grow near

and one shipment from Southern

needed by us in planting time, is
sent abroad to pay for seed that can
De raised with ease, and kept at

1t does seem strange to us, that
this valuable plant has been so much
neglected, and so little knowledge
seems to exist as to it's habits, growth
and the best varieties to cultivate
On all thin lands peas should be
planted in drills, and two or three

of the season. If the vines are de-
signed for hay or soiling, they should
be planted early. IF for seed late
planting is the best. The early crop
produces large vino and small
crop of seed, the late planted me-
dunn to small growth, and large
quantity of peas. A good idea, when
seed is scarce, is to plant in the corn
field, when that crop is laid by, drop
ping four or five seed to each hill.-l
1t will cover up the corn and make
a good crop.
And now as to what kind to plant. |
We have tried nearly or quite all the |
species, and prefer first the Clay pea, |
next the red, and lastly the Whip.
poorwill or speckled variety. The
Ciay IS the most merchantable, the |
red variety the hardest and least
subject to rot; the Whippoorwill the
earliest, and all of them make good
forage for stock when properly cur
ed, besides being equally valuable
Tor soiling. In conclusion no one
We trust, will fail during the present
season to plantas largely as possible

eading ones on the farm or planta-

armer can afford to do altogether
without them, even at double the
