It is we'll to take stock of the seed
and varieties of cowpeas desired and
to obtain quotations and samples
The quantity of the 1918 crop of cow
peas harvested for seed is reported
much less than normal. 1t Is hardly
possible that prices will be much low
er than those prevailing now.
The variety to be selected is of
much importance, depending not only
on locality, but on the use to be made
of the crop. Where the crop is de-
sired for forage or turning under for
green manure, mixed c0wpeas answer
the purpose and are to be had at a
less cost than single varieties. The
Whippoorwill is good general pur-
pose pea and perhaps is more general
ly grown than any other sort. The
Croft is one of the highest yielders,
both for forage and for seed, and is
adapted to a wide range of conditions.
For early varieties, 1.-THE Early Buff,
New Era, Whippoorwill, and Early
Blackeye sorts and Croft are most
suitable. The later varieties are bet

suited to Southern conditions. The
best late and medium late varieties
include Clay, Unknown, or Wonder
full, Red Ripper, and Black.
Suitable for Food.
Among the sorts most suitable for
food are the varieties of Blackeye,
Cream, Gallivant, Conch, and some of
the Crowder varieties.
Ordinary varieties of cowpeas are
severely attacked by eelworms or
Eenatodes, which infest most of the
lighter soils in the South and cause
root knot of many crop plants and
weeds. To plant such varieties on
land infested with the nematode is a
dangerous practice, since they will
either die prematurely or produce
poor yields, and will permit the Dema-
todes to reproduce to such an extent
that the next crop may be more Sc
vereiy damaged than the first. Ger
tain varieties, however, the Iron,
Brabhan, and Monetta-are highly
resistant to root knot. Therefore,
whenever the planting Of cowpeas on
fields that are or may be infested by
the cause of root knot is contemplate
ed. special care should be taken to
plant only the Iron, Brabham, or No
Meta varieties.
Be Sure Of Seed.

farmers should take steps to procure
them at once. 1t is Of paramount i'm

varieties be secured. If Iron. Brab-

Taylor. Whippoorwlll, or Early Buff.
are planted on infested land which
contains the eelworms, considerable
losses may follow. In addition, the
nematodes will be largely In
creased by having favorable cowpea
plants on which to live. and, conse-
quently, subsequent crops planted on
the same land are more subject to IT.
