How t, Grow Peas in
Richmond County

Scores of ar nels h.Ne com.
planned that COW peas witt, drop
their leaves or die before mature,
and when roots are examined,
they are black and, later, become
rotten.
This is caused by a disease
known as wilt" or "black root"
The spores of this disease. once
they get into a soil, remain, and
the only is togrow peas that have
been bred to resist this, disease.
The best known resistant varie-
ties are the Iron Pea and the
Brabham Pea. These will resis.
t. the extent of 80 to 30: per cent
if true to name. The only safe
plan is to buy these varieties from
producers that are in heavily in
tested districts. : Then you are
sure of their resistance: for if
they were not resistant, they
could not have been produced on
such infested soil.
Even when pea vines are sue
cessfully grown, it often occurs
that little or no seed mature.
This is usually due to the fact
that the soil had only sufficient
acid phosphate and potash to
produce the wine alone Hence
the shortage of pea seed.
Another Remedy.
The best remedy for this dis
ease is to plant velvet beans or
peanuts on such soil. These
are absolutely immune to it-as
much so as a dog is to the disease
of hog cholera. Why plant peas
any way, when velvet beans will
give two to three times as much
feed and fertility per acre! If
hay is the object in planting, sow
a bushel of sorghum and two
bushels of,velvet beans per acre
and NOW and cure as you would
peas and sorghum. Sow sorghum
thus heavily to get a small stalk
at medium height, which is more
easily handled and makes better
hay.
Make . Profit by selling your
peas at So to $3.50 per bushel and
get velvet beans which can be
bought for about SLIGO delivered.
A few bushels of velvet beans
on the land lying out this sum-
mer, will save a heavy fertilizer
bill next year. Whysnot manure
your oats and wheat next fall
by growing and turning velvet
beans on idle lands and make
better grain THAT will cost you
less?
