PEAS AND ASPARAGUS.

bed Of peas few feet square, the.idea
of growing this product In beds Of $500
acrcs and Of harvesting and thrashing
peas like so much wheat is revelation,
says the Scientific American. The west
Just now holds in store many such agri-
cultural surprises for those from n dis.
lance
In Longmont, Colo, the land IS pre-
pared for peas just as 1t is for wheat.
The regular wheat drills are used in
sowing peas. Two rows Of peas are
sowod and then a space equal to that
occupied by two rows is skipped, thus
leaving twenty inches between the
double rows for cultivation and irriga-
ton purposes, When the pea vines be-
come large enough to cultivate, corn
cultivator Is used in throwing earth up
to them When five TO six inches in
height furrow is made between the
rows for water brought to the head Of
the rows in the highest part of the field
by broad ditch
At the harvesting of peas all are
moved down by cutter which runs
Just beneath the ground. Then the
hayraCks arrive and great loads Of peas
on the vines arc hauled to the nearby
canning factory and are ready for the
thrashing operation. The thrashing is
done by means of machines constructed
especially for the purpose.
When the peas have been shclled by
means of these machines, they next
are put through grading machines
which sort out the different sizes.
Longmoat boasts further of the lar
gcst asparagus bed In the world. This
bed comprises 40 acres and contains
three-fourths of a million plants. The
rows,are about six feet APART, and the
plants are twelve 70 fifteen inches apart
In the rows The demand for aspara-
gus today is greater than the supply.
One more agricultural novelty in Col
orado is an eighty acre currant patch.
As far as is known, this Is the largest
currant patch extant. 1t il situated,
like the asparagus bed, at Long mont
In this currant patch there are 135,OoO
plants set out In rows seven feet apart
The plants are three and half feet
apart In the rows One hundred and
fifty hands, old and young, are en-
ployed at picking time. One and one
fourth cents per pound is paid for pick
ing, which enables expert pickers to
make as high as $3.50 per day. A cur
rant bush in Colorado will produce at
least n gallon of currants, Some pro-
duce ten gallons, Owing to irrigation
