CANADA FIELD PEAS SHOULD BE
SoWN EARLY.

Canada field peas are especially
well adapted to the climate of Canada
and the northern tier Of states where
there is sufficient moisture. In Mary
land they will succeed much better in
the northern and mountainous sections
of the State than elsewhere.
Like the garden pea, they will not
make much growth after hot, muggy
weather sets in, along about harvest
time or a little before, and for that
reason should not be considered in
the light of grain crop with a mix
ture Of oats as they are in the north
ern states and Canada.
Where oats is sown in the spring for
solling or for hay the feeding value
may be greatly increased by mixing
Canada field peas with the oats. The
quantity of seed per acre varies from
IL bushels of oats and III bushels
of peas to 2 bushels of each. II is very
important that the crop should be
sown in early spring, for the earlier
the crop is planted the greater will
be the likelihood of the maximum re.
turns, as both oats and peas suffer in
the hot days of late spring and early
summer. Although some growers
recommend that the peas be planted
much deeper than the oats and few
days before planting the oats, there is,
however. no good reason for this prac-
tice, as experiments have shown that
even distribution and as large yields
can be secured when the oats and peas
are mixed together with the grain drill
and seeded together
Where land has never grown garden
or field peas it is usually advisable to
lnoculate, otherwise the growth will
not be sufficient TO pay for the seed
and the extra labar

DIscINe LAND BEFORE FLOWING
DESIRABLE.
NICHOLAS SCHM1TZ,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

Discing sod before plowing makes
the plowing easier and greatly facili-
tates the preparation of a good seed
bed. 1t is as important to have the
bottom of the seedhed finely puiver-
lied as it is to have the surface well
worked
The easiest way to do this is to disc
before plowing. It may seem that this
is an extra operation, but land that is
well disced before plowing will not
need as much working after plowing
in order to get it in first class condi-
tion. and there is no question of the
bottom of the seeded being as well
worked as the surface.
1t is also good plan to disc rye
or rye and clover before blowing un-
der This aids the complete turning
under and at the same time helps to
mix it with the soil, which is necessary
in order to get the most rapid deeom-
position. II also insures against the
difficulty of preventing the clover from
being turned under in mat, in which
case it simply acts as a blanket in
preventing the upward movement of
moisture.

OBJECTIONS TO GROWING GRAIN

Most of the grains make very OBJ

been ruined by their use. While such

They grow at a time when the trees

the land poor. There is no good rea-
son why the above grains should ever

Because of its great economic value

it should be kept good distance away
from the trees. the rows should be run
north and south and it should be
planted as late in the season as pos

Hay should never be grown in

moisture and plant food when the
trees need them most. 1t provides
excellent means for harboring insects
and other pests. If hay must be
grown. on the land occupied by the
orchard, as some persist in doing, by
all means cut down the trees and get
them out of the way.

PREPAREDNESS N FARM
PRACTICE MOST NECESSARY
New Bulletin Offers Timely Sueges-
tIons In Farm Management.

During the month of March continue
blowing. Harrow and reharrow until
a perfect seed bed is secured. An
ounce of preparation is worth a pound
of cultivation. Apply lime to the corn
land as the seed bed is prepared.
Where grass lands have not had
sufficient amount of stable manure ap'
piled previously there should now be
an application Of commercial fertil-
izers. As the grass becomes green is
the proper time to make the applica-
ton.
Go over your drainage systems and
see that they are working properly.
Often earth from the sides is thrown
into the bottom of open bitches by the
freezing and thawing Of winter. This
may so choke up the ditch as to inter
fere with the outflow of water or the
earth slide may cause the flow to cut
into and undermine the opposite bank.
Where there is under-drainage, see
that the outlets are open. Examine
the fields of winter wheat, rye and
other winter grains and see If the
crop has been killed, injured in spots
by "heaving" or "spewing" or has
been drowned out by water standing
on the surface during the winter. If
any such spots are found plan to give
them better drainage.
Mend Your Fences.

saved if the fences are gone over at
this tile and loose wires tightened
up and defective posts or rails re-
placed.
Continue hauling manure on the
fields intended for corn. Fresh manure
spread on the top Of plowed land and
worked in with the harrow will give
better results than if spread before
plowing at this season unless the
manure be very coarse.
The too common practice Of burn
ing over old fields at this season pre-
paratory to plowing is strongly to be
reprobated. 1t is much better prac-
tice to go over such fields with the
disk harrow once or twice to chop up
the dry vegetable matter and mix it
with the soil and then pillow, rather
than to burn the vegetable matter,
