Yield of Peas.

Cowpeas can be threshed with per-
feet success with only pea or bean
huller. A wheat thresher may be
used but it cracks the peas SO badly
as to make 1t impractical except for
some of the smaller seeded varieties.
A wheat thresher may be modified

as to reduce the speed, while the rest
Of the machine Is geared up to run at
the usual rate. A part Of the concave
teeth may also be removed with good
results, but these are only makeshift
methods and a pea huller should be
used If available. In this connection
IL should be said that the Introduction
of pea hullers should be encouraged
in all parts of the country where peas
are grown. The average yield of peas
Is about nine to ten bushels per acre.
