New Era Cow Pea Very Satisfactory

Up to this year grew all the leading
varieties Of cowpeas with the exception
of the New Era. Last spring tried
this variety for the purpose of testing its
quality as a table pea as we'll as for for
age secured the seed from a friend
who informed me that it was a new va
riety and that two crops could be grown
here in the south during one season
He informed me also that it was not
valuable for table use My experience
the present season shows that it is a very
good pea for the table, having a nutty
flavor, and would be suitable in bill
of fare about twice a week My peas are
now ripening, having grown from seed
planted in the spring 1t would do my
northern friends good to see this crop,
for it is my belief that this pea should
be grown north of Mason and Dixon
line The vines are one mass of pods
from 6 to 10 iches long, and blossoms
are still coming.
note article from Frank d Fuller
in American Agriculturist, printed Sep
tember 20, giving his experience with
cowpeas He recommends the Whip
poorwill variety for the central and
northern states. | think the New Era
is superior to the Whippoorwill, even
for the north. 1t grows as strong and
produces much more seed, when proper,
ly fertilized. One popularity | have
noticed-thAt it produces heavy crop
with less moisture than anv other va
riety | have ever grown. | believe that
a succession will give a northern farmer
feed from spring until frost.
| have been testing the effect of fer
tilizers on this crop, and believe that the
right principle is to feed the crop on soil
Farmers make q mistake in not fertiliE-
ing the cowpea. While they will grow
on poor land, my experience proves that
when fertilized with 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 4 per cent potash, at
the rate of 800 pounds per acre, the
vines we're three times as luxuriant and
produced double the amount of seed
find that the best method of sowing
where seed is wanted is to plant in rows
Of 30 inches apart with the plant about
IL inches apart in the row, putting from
six to ten peas in hill.-C. W. Nor
rill, of Georgia, in American Agricul-
turist.
