The Cow Pea.

Why does the cow pea bear heavily
when plante at one time, say lst of June,
and those planted on precisely the same
land, say ten or fifteen days later, bear
nothing land cultivation and manuring
being precisely similar. ...
2. Why does land where heavy crop
of peas was raised in 1898 make poor
crop of cotton in 1894? The pea crop in
1893 succeeded an oat crop. After they
ripened, the hogs were turned in, but
never in wet weather. The vines were
all allowed to remain on the land and
turned in January, 1894; rows for cotton
laid off and pretty heavy application of a
compost of cotton seed, stable manure
and acid drilled in; also cotton seed meal;
turrew run in this drill to scatter ma
nure. Planted on 10Th and 18th April,
and cultivated as usual. Same manuring
and cultivation on similar land making a
good deal better cotton. The pea is a
puzzle to me, and | am so years old and
Ysars.-B. L G., Kellyton, Ala.

difference in the crop resulted from the

subjected, especially in the amount of
moisture they would receive.
In the case of your cotton, unless the
plant was subject to the loss from the
want of sufficient amount of potash, we
see no reason why its growth should not
have been greater than in the second plat
you mention. 1t may not have fruited as
we'll on account of your not supplying the
elements of phosphoric acid and potash
commensurate with the heterogeneous ma
nure. In fertilizing, it must be remem-
bered that while growth will be pro-
noted by nitrogen, for the perfect we'll
fruited plant, the soil must contain the
other elements also. The course you
adopted supplied ammonia in abundance,
but omitted potash, and only supplied
phospboric acid in small quantities.
Doubtless the second plat on which the
peas had not been grown was more equally
fsrtilized. You can put it down as rule
that peas never injure land.-Southern
