doubtless India, where to-day many
related species are grown.
2. All the varieties of the cow pea
now cultivated in the United States
are believed to have originated from
one ancestor, "Vigna siuensis," and
that the numerous so-called varieties
can be greatly reduced in number.
3. The best varieties OF peas for
vines and green manuring are the I'm
known, Black Clay, Red, etc., while
the strictly bunch varieties, Whip
poorwill, Blue, Black-Eye, etc., give
larger returns in peas.

as well as high fertilizing properties.
5. Cow pea vines cGn be converted
into hay or preserved as Stage, both
of which are proven by repeated ex.
periments to be palatable and nutri
