Cut Gowpeas for Hay

Cowpeas make an excellent hay
if cut and cured properly Mosl
farmers let them stand too Ions,
and they become woody. G. X.
McQuarrie of the University Oh
Florida extension division says
cowpeas should be cut when the
first pods are in the snap stage
and when there is still large per
centage of bloom. Experiments
have shown that the greatest fooo
value is to be had at this stage. If
they stand longer, the stems be.

The leaves are the most highly nu,
tritious part of the plant and they
should be saved,
DO not run the mower while the
peas are wet with dew or rain be,
cause they will not dry before
they mold. Neither should any
peas be cut after 2 o'clock in tht
afternoon, because the hay will

Estimated Cotton Acreage

The Bureaus estimated total
acreage planted in cotton this.
wear in Florida was 167 900 acres.
Of this amount, 125,0O0 acres,
or about rs per cent is in Sea Is
and cotton.
Last year, out of total of 49,
600 acres, about 70 per cent, or
10000 acres was in Sea Island
cotton.
These figures show a reduction
of slightly over 10 per cent in Sea
Island cotton acreage from last
year.

may be put into a large cock.
Many farmers make the mis-
take Of leaving their hay in the
field until it dries, becomes bleach
ed, and even sunburned. Such
hay is of very poor quality. Cow
pea hay can safely be put in the
barn or stack when no water can
be wrung from it by twisting a
small bunch. If it is left too long
the leaves will shatter and the
feeding value will be reduced.
Mr.. McQuarrie recommends
that the hay be put into the barn
or rick to undergo the sweat.
Sweating is part of the curing
process and it lends flavor and
palatability to the hay. If the hay
begins to sweat in the cock il
should not be disturbed for ter
days, or until it has passed out OF
the sweat. ji'FK
Cowpeas are hard to cure, but
once they are made into hay they
will be found about the equal Of
alfalfa. They will pay for the Elk
ira trouble of curing and housing
If no barn is available they may
be put into a rick and covered
