CONSERVATION CROPS.
Growing Peas with Corn, Quite q
Popular Practice In Some Parts,
Not to he Recon- III ndcd

My first experience in planting peas
with corn was in 1895. About 80 acres
Of corn were planted on very thin
land in rows six feet apart The
ground was kept as level as possible
and when about half through cultivat-
ing the corn, the peas were drilled in,
using about one-half bushel of seed
per acre. AT the last blowing the
peas had good start and were per-
haps foot high. This made a most
excellent crop OF both seeds and vines.
The same season another field of good
land was planted in corn. the rows be-
ing four and one-half feet apart. At
the last blowing, when the corn was
about shoulder high. peas were sown
by hand between the corn rows. The
peas were SO badly shaded by the corn
that they did not amount to much.
Another method was observed by the
writer two years ago. This was plant
ing corn and peas at the same time
and in the same row. following he
corn drill with the pea drill. The re-
suit Of this was that by the time the
corn was in roasting ear the peas had
almost covered it up and in one field
that saw, no corn was to be seen
only the elbows Of the stalks where
the peas had broken the tops over.

it is best to FUN over it once or twice

corn ere no doubt, more apparent

How TO Plant Poncnrn.

PepeaEe may Is !" planted closer
than any other varieties. One plan OF
planting is TO make the burrows three
feet apart and have the corn stand
enc stalk in a hill. 4 inches apart in
the rows. If the corn is planted very
early or late it will not suffer so
much from the worms as the medium
planted crops. Where irrigated, care
must be taken in Keeping the water
from the stalks and not give the
plants more than two periods Of ir-
rigation during the growing season.
The poor ears can be fed to poultry
with profit and the fodder is relished
by the COWS. sheep and horses.
