THE VALUE OF COW PEAS.
A. = Catch Crop. Al Feed for AMI
mails and Az . Soil ImprOveF
They Arc Satisfactory.

have been growing cow peas more
or less for a number of years, usual,
as catch crop, and have always foune
them very satisfactory, both for ami
mails and as soil improver, in fact
IN the latter capacity do not think
l have ever had as good results as
have from COW pease. Even where
the tops are removed from the land
the lands improvement from the roots
and stubble Is quite marked.
Last year, after moving ten acres
of clover and timothy, I plowed the
field and sowed half with cow peas
and half with Hungarian grass. The
pease were cut and mixed with corn
in the silo, and the Hungarian made
into hay. The ground was prepared
for wheat by use of the disk harrow.
Conditions of culture and fertilizing
were the same for both the catch
crops, and the fertilizing for wheat
the same on the whole field. The
wheat following the peas was consid-
erably better than on the Hungarian
land, while the new seeding OF clover
and timothy in the stubble show to
the decided advantage of the pea
ground.
OF course, much better results can
be had in production II enough OF a
season can be given them to make
a full-grown crop before frost, but
their value on land that would other
wise be unoccupied during the heat
of late summer and fall is inestimable.
I have now growing fine sowing that
was made after oats were cut for
hay. The peas were showing green
over the field five days after sowing.
This particular lot of peas are to be
used for a late hog pasture, and as an
experiment sowed rape with the peas.
The fate of the rape is in the future.
My rule is to harvest all catch crops,
either for soiling, for the silo, or for
hay, as much more can be realized
from them thus than by pasturing
them; but my lot referred to above
as for hog pasture is an exception to
my rule, as need the field as exercise
ground for special lot of hogs.
am not an advocate of the ex-'
pensive method of enriching ones land
by blowing down valuable crops that
can be harvested and fed to profit
able animals. When the manure is
carefully saved and applied to living
crops as soon as possible, a green
crop covering the land in the winter
and catch one in summer, the home
manure supplemented and made more
valuable by added commercial manure,
soil productivity can be more rapidly
and at the same time profitably In
creased than by expanding labor, time
and money growing crops to plow I'M
der.
There are exceptions, however. The
field In which I will plant my pota-
toes next spring is now in corn for
curing. and has . fine stand OF crimson
clover growing in It. The mission
Of this clover is to take care OF the
land next winter and furnish good
Mace to receive the manure for the
POTATOES. This will be applied with
= spreader on frozen ground during
winter. To wait on this clover I'LL it
is large enough for cutting would make
ate potato planting. Therefore 1t
will he plowed under. Other fields
~ crimson clover will be used for
soiling and for hay, and the GROUND
olowed for corn for the silo.-Countiy
