prepared by the United States Departmel
of Agricultural
Growing canning peas is special
lied industry which requires the
closest cooperation between the
grower and the Gamer. A new Farm
ers' Bulletin, No. 1855, THE Produc-
ton of Peas for Canning" by Chester
j. HUM, assistant horticulturist, has
been issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. This bulletin
describes the plan followed by can
ners to provide a supply of peas, and
the methods the growers should use
in growing, harvesting and handling
the crop.
Being legumes, canning peas fit adj
mirably into q general farm rotation
in sections where the crop can be
grown and have a marked influence in
increasing the yield of crops which
follow them. Easy accessibility TO a
cannery which will contract for the
entire output Is a necessity if the
growing of canning peas is to be
undertaken on Il commercial sscale.
Peas for canning pass their prime
condition within very few days, and
1t is necessary to handle the crop
promptly.
Refuse Is Big Asset.
In dairy and stock-feeding regions
the utilization of pea-vine refuse as
feed is an important asset. Many can
neries winter large herds of stock
profitably, using pea-vine silage for
the greater part of the ration. When
pea vines are completely rotted they
have fair fertilzing value but the
material should not be used on land
TO be planted in peas. 1t is con-
sidered a better practice to feed the
roughage TO stock and obtain manure
from the animals, thus securing a
double return on the vines and labor.
Peas rank third in tonnage among
the canned vegetables of this country.
The industry, which originated near
Baltimore, Md, is now centralized for
the most part in the region about the
Great Lakes. In 1920 there were r.
$4,000 cases of peas canned, which
represented 1922 tons of peas grown
on 139,1SS acres.
Fertile Soil Is Needed.
The pea crop requires a mellow,
fertile well-drained soil. The seed
bed should he deeply prepared and
left with smooth surface TO facili-
tate harvesting with a mower. The
crop, as usually grown in drills like
wheat. requires no cultural attention
after the seed is sown. Being es-
sentially a cool-weather crop, it is
grown most successfully in those re-
gions where the spring is little slow
in changing from cool to warm
weather.

like the pigs. But gracious me, we
do like to eat.
1T is said that goose will eat as
much as a COW. Yes, that is what
has been said and that is the truth
too.
THAT is splendid l think, for COW
is much bigger than a goose.
yes a COW is very, very much big
ger than goose. One thinks of a
COW as an enormous animal, but one
doesn't think of goose as so very
enormous"
THAT is So" shrieked Mrs. Goose.
"What you say is very true.
II think 1t is splendid to think OF
how much we can eat and yet we're
not so enormous.
"We will eat all the time and we're
not very fussy about our food. We
will eat almost anything we can get
hold of and will enjoy 1t.
1--WE have a regular system about
our eating, and a system is very SUI
perior. People have a system about
eating too when they eat breakfast
and dinner and supper.
"But our system is greatly superior
for we eat all the time as we've said.
ITO be sure people eat between
meals, but they're not almost con-
stantly eating as we are.
They're doing other things. Per-
haps it keeps us from having great
brains to eat all the time.
For awhile a creature must eat to
be well and to be wise too, still we
take up all the time in eating when
others would be using some of that
time thinking Of how they could study
and improve their minds or something
foolish like that.
probably we're called geese because
we think such things DIS studying and
thinking are foolish and a waste of
time. Perhaps that is why it is. But
who cares? Not a goose at least.
But our system is so splendid. We
eat all the time as we've said sew
eral times already, but after we eat
we get a drink and wash down our
food and then we eat again.
That's system"
ut most certainly is" said Gander.
"We will go In the garden and eat
up all the cabbage If we get the
chance" he added.
We've done that" grinned Mrs.

Among the crops which can be

greatly relished by those animals; 1t
is easily grown and can be sown most
any time in the spring or early sum-

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-R

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the tect of years.
It is sold by all druggists on it's merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

Envelope Valued at s12,5oo.

August Lutteken of DenveT one of
the largest stamp collectors in the
world, has an envelope mailed in 1850
which is valued at $12,500.
There are no postage stamps on the
envelope. 1t bears only what were
known as postmasters' stamps, requir-
ing payments of 8 cents overseas post
age and the collection Of another 3
cents postage from the addressee on
delivery. No street address appears
because such letters could be received
only by calling in person at the post
office. The practice was discontinued
about the time of the Civil war and
specimens have become so rare that
Lutteken asserts the one he holds is,
in his belief, the only one extant.

PROTEIN FEEDS ARE NEEDED
On Average Farm Such Roughages as
Alfalfa Hay, Glover or Pea
Hay May Be Fed.

A dairy COW may take on flesh when
she receives carbohydrate ration !;
but her milk flow will continue TO d.
minish until enough protein feed is in
cluded to balance the ration. Protein
feeds are essential where dairy cows
are fed for profit. On the average
farm such roughages as alfalfa hay,
clover or pea hay may be fed TO form
the bulk Of the protein ration, while
cottonseed meal Is satisfactory for
supplying protein In concentrated
form.

GROWING VERY MILD ONIONS.
Liberal Use Of Well Rotted Cow
Manure as Fertilizer Is Favored
Moisture Helps.

II is possible 10 grow very mild
onions by the liberal use of well rotted
COW manure as fertilizer instead of
the manure from the horse barn.
Apply the manure literally during
the spading process, and plant the
onions at least two inches in depth.
Too shallow planting will produce
stronger onions than deeper planting,
no matter what kind Of soil is used.

WHEN TO CUT ALFALFA CROP
Time OF Harvesting Always Interest
ing Subject to Practical Farmer
Some Tests.

The time to harvest alfalfa for hay
is always Of interest to the practical
farmer. In this Connection some inter
esting results have just been pub
lished. 1t has been found that two
cuttings taken when the alfalfa was
in full bloom yielded as large guam
tity as three cuttings taken when the
plants were at the tenth bloom stage.
However, the quality of the hay was
superior when the three cuttings were
made.

, The location of canning factory is
determined by the suitability of the
section for the growing of peas and
by the prospects of obtaining, at
equitable prices, sufficiently large
crops in the vicinity to run the plant
nj It's full capacity for reasonable
length of time. The pea crop is
usually grown under contract The
canning company usually specifies the
varieties and acreage to be planted,
often provides the seed. and decides
the time To harvest. From 10 TO -
acres of peas will maintain a fair re-
tation balance for a farm of 100 acres.
Such crops as alfalfa and clover
may be soWn as companion crops with
peas. In many sections Of the country
where the early types Of peas are
harvested during the first part of June
the land may be fitted Immediately
for some other crop Often a poor
crop of peas may be deliberately
turned under without harvesting to
get the secondary effect upon any sue
ceeding crop. The increase with wheat
following this practice has been noted
in New York state as varying from
3 to 1S bushels per acre. Some farm
ers believe that marked improve
ment is also seen on the hay crop and
on the pasturage which follows the
wheat.
General Suggestions.
Good drainage is very important.
Fall blowing is recommended where 1t
can he practiced without injury to the
land, and thorough fining of the top
layer of soil mt planting time. Weeds
are partly prevented by the early
working of the ground, by the heavy
cover formed by the pea vines, and
also by the early harvesting CT the
crop. Stable manure, when available,
may he applied with advantage. Many
growers prefer 10 apply the manure
TO the previous crop rather than d.
rectly to the peas. Manure mixed
with decayed pea vines should not be
used as this practice is liable to
spread diseases affecting the crop.
The growing of peas increases the
nitrogen content of the soil. Inocula-
ton of the seed will often give an
increase of 100 to 700 pounds of peas
per acre.
Seed should be procured from 8
reliable source. 1t should be from
the crop of the previous year and
not a blending Of new and old seeds.
The time for planting and harvesting
is determined by the locality. Methods
of harvesting and practices followed
in disposing of the pea vines are dis
cussed in the bulletin, which is avail
able on application to the Department
of Agriculture, Washington, ID. G.
