a half crowder form of the Whip
poor-will or speckIed pea. Tt Is
broadly known that the Iron pea is
immune to wilt. So is the Brabham.
The latter is a great hay producer
and a leader in seed production In
deed, it outstrips the Iron in every
particular almost.
In advance, l want to say that I
have no seed of the Brabham to sell,
nor do [ know where seed can be OBJ
tanned, unless your Congressman can
secure enough for you from the gov
eminent to grow a trial patch for
seed next year. Suppose you try.
Kudzu brings to me many in
quiries as to the nature of the plant.
1t is Japanese legume, better adapt
ed to rough land for grazing than any
other. The vines run on the surface
of the earth IL to 40 feet. The run
ners root as do sweet potato vines.
1t will be seen that, from a single
plant a large number of rooted cut
tings can be obtained TT makes
double the growth Of the velvet bean,
and the hay is more easily cured.
When seed are used, plant them in
box and transplant when stocky.
The Lyon bean is a close competi-
tor to the velvet bean. It came from
the Philippine Islands. It is earlier
than the velvet bean and yields a
larger quantity Of seed. 1t is des-
tined to figure successfully as a most
excellent forage producer.
At present, the seed are difficult
OF purchase. In few years they will
be plentiful.
These new introductions by the
government are we'll worthy consider
alton. We have land, and to spare,
South. We cannot do better than
have an eye to the new plants that
have been tried by the government
and endorsed. They can be put to
careful test with view to determ-
ming whether or not they should. be
listed and cultivated.
While we should not rush at the
new, it is the part of wisdom not to
poOh-pooh plants or seed simply be-
cause We are not familiar with them.
In less than a decade. the soy bean
has won it's way to distinction and
great favor. There were men, as
to-day there are men, who declare,
1T is nothing" That bean is win
ming it's way South with the same de-
gree of rapidity as the cow-pea is out
West. It will not supp1ant the cow
pea, but it will stand along side the
latter. For growing pigs, a finer
combination cannot be found than
soy beans and Spanish peanuts
Taken separately, it would be difficult
to match either of them.
Next week, may-chance l may
talk about forage-I mean hay-mak-
ing-plants.

PEA-VINE HAY: THE CLOVER
OF THE SOUTH.
By Martin V. Calvin.

ETOWDY! A few weeks ago, I
A directed attention to the i'm
ILL mense value of the cow-pea
to the South. Many of your
readers have expressed surprise at
some of the statements I then made.
They did not question the accuracy
of any of the statements, but they
were surprised at the first knowl-
edge of the real value of the cow-pea
and it's increasing Importance and
recognition.
Last night I saw in a recent issue
of the Ohio Farmer a fine tribute to
the cow-pea by a farmer of Wash
ington County in that State. He
plants peas from June Ito He uses
a wheat drill, planting five pecks per
acre. He cuts as soon as some Of the
pods begin to ripen, leaves them
alone for four or five days, then rakes
them up, puts in small cocks and
lets them stand five days more. They
are then ready to stack or put in the
barn. He feeds his COWS pea-vines
at one feed and alfalfa Or corn fod-
der at another feed, daily. He is
feeding bunch of lambs on cow
peas, with a modicum of shelled
COlu, udlIy. ne declares CHdt lie
never had lambs to do as we'll. He
regards one ton of pea-vines equal
to three-fourths of a ton of alfalfa,
and equal to one and one-half tons
Of timothy hay.
1t may be we'll, in this connection,
to again give the number of ponds
of digestible nutriment in 100 pounds
Of the three varieties of hay mention
ed by our Ohio friend viz:

1923 pounds of protein and 47.5
pounds OF carbohydrates in every
100 pounds Of it's incompatible hay.
Like the COW pea, it is indigenous
to the South.
Extending the figures in the table
to tons, it will be seen that alfalfa
has 220 pounds of protein. while pea
hay has PIG pOunds-a different in
favor of alfalfa of pounds only N
a ton.
1t Will further appear that alfalfa
has 1872 pounds of carbohydrates in
a ton, while pea has 772 pounds
q difference in favor CT alfalfa of 20
pounds only in a ton.
1t will further appear that COM
mon vetch has in a ton 258 pounds
of protein or SO pounds more than
alfalfa. Common vetch has $50
pounds of carbohydrates in a ton,
which is 1873 pounds more than there
is in a ton Of alfalfa.
The object of this comparison is
not to belittle alfalfa, but to direct
attention to the value of home hay
and forage plants.
Because of lack of carefully kept
records, we do not know the full ca
paCity Of coW-pea as a hay producer,
nor do we know as q fact the large
general average yield of seed of
which the cow-pea is capable. Now,
that there are at command a number
of pea threshers, the people can be
made acquainted with the facts re-
ferred to.
There is too great a disposition to
take things for granted as to crop
yields. If farmers, who grow peas
for hay would not be content until
they knew just exactly the number of
pounds Of cured pea-vines were har-
vested from five, ten or twenty acres,
they would waken to the fact that
they were not making enough or
that a large yield per acre might be
greatly increased by the free use of
a high grade 1914 goods. Not less
than 400 pounds of the fertilizer
should be used per acre.
I have had recently a number of
inquiries as to the Brabham pea.
1t is hybrid between the Iron and
