THE PEA AS A FERTILIZER.

Mr.. Sep Massey, of Catawba juno
ton, was one of the first farmers of his
neighborhood to begin experimenting
with the clay pea as a fertilizer and to
gather experience as to the value OF
the pea crop for this purpose.
Different farmers of this section have
experimental extensively with the
clay pea, and many have done great
deal of reading on the subject. AS
the result, while all are convinced
that the pea is a great institution as a
fertilizer, there is, of course, more or
less difference of opinion as to the best
way in which it is to be utilized.
Mr.. Massey has experimental with
the pea in various ways, and has ar
rived at the conclusion that for fertil-
izing purposes, the best results are to
be obtained by allowing the vines to
rot on the ground without attempting
to harvest or turn under. He says
that land so treated, will, in the fol-
lowing spring be almost as soft and
mellow as an ash bed, and will be in
condition to produce a much better
crop of almost anything that it may be
desirable to put on it than otherwise.
A few days ago business man OF
Yorkville mentioned the fact that he
had made with farmer, who lives
within three miles of town, Il trade by
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-06-07

the terms of which he was to furnish
20 bushels of pease for seed, on condi'
ton that the farmer was to sow the
same on his own land, harvest and de-
liver in the business mans barn one.
half of the hay produced. The busi'
ness man mentioned, incidentally, that
he felt that he had taken an unfair
advantage of his farmer friend. Mr.
Massey thinks differently. He is in
doubt as to whether a farmer, who
might be unable to buy seed himself
would not be justified in sowing on
his OWE land seed furnished free by 8
second party, and to furnish to the
second party the entire yield of hay
He thinks it possible that the increased
fertility of the soil, occasioned by the
crop, would be of sufficient value to
offset the cost of seed, harvesting, etc
According to Mr.. Massey's idea, one
of the greatest benefits of a pea CROP
is the shading of land that would 9th
erwise be subjected to the parchine
rays of the sun. He illustrates this
way: "Throw on your land, whether
rich or poor, a piece of plank 12inches
wide and 10 feet long, and allow it tc
remain there Say two years. Ther
put on the land whatever crop you see
fit, and, on maturity, you will find on
the spot that had been occupied by
the plank, better growth than any
where surrounding"
Mr.. Massey is not much of q be-
lever in wheat in his neighborhood
Further up the railroad-four or five
miles-the farmers make good wheat
crops but in the immediate vicinity o.
Catawba Junction, wheat is generally 6
failure under almost any conditions
Mr.. Massey has theory that the trou
BILE is possibly due to fogs from the river
But where there is disadvantage as to
wheat, it is more than made up by the
advantage as to oats. Around the
Junction, the farmers generally make
heavy crops, and most of them hold
almost as a matter of religious faith tc
the idea, that unless pease are sown or
oat stubble, the soil is greatly weakened
by each succeeding crop. In the opin
ion of Mr.. Massey, crop of pease fol
lowing crop Of oats, leaves the sol
in as good shape as before the oats
were soWn.

- In the early cutting off of Gov
ernor Ellerbe there is something mex
plicably sad. From the standpoint OF
human ambition he had reached high
position. What his future prospects
were may be question but that need
not be discussed now. The governor
has not been bad. In some things
many people have differed with him.
They have thought hard of him. But
have they fully understood him ?
That is a. question that will probably
remain unanswered. By all that is
right and holy, he is entitled only to
the kindest remembrance. May this
be accorded to him, for while it is pos
sible that there may be some evil to
live after him, there is no doubt that
much good was inferred with his
bones.
