Another factor decidedly to the

ity of the practical destruction of

sOnal Investigations at the state farm
and from reports of other observers

there is ample indication of early
April freezes having killed the 1926
thistle in its infancy.
Like winter rye the thistle seed
gerimnates about six weeks ahead OF
winter wheat, which incidentally &C
counts for the notable freedom Of
rye fields from this weed as compared
with wheat.

Seed Pea Production Grows Inn MOmtanas

have a distinct advantage be-
the plants setotheir pods before
the warm weather begins. Warm
weather is essential to the pea croD
during the ripening period.
The amount of seed to SOW varies
from three to four and a half bushels
per acre, the smaller. varieties re-
curing less seed. Where there is an
abundant supply of water, seeding
may be a little heavier than where
the water supply is limited. Under
GaIlatin valley conditions the aver
age rate of seeding for such varieties
as Alaska, Perfection, Advancer's
and Gamers Gem is three and a
quarter bushels per T Rice's No.
10 and HOrsfOrds are sOwn at the
rate of three bushels per acre and
varieties with larger seed, such as
Gradus, Lexington, Thomas, Laxtou
and Hundred Fold r planted at the
rate of three and One-half to four
bushels per acre.
Seeding with a drill is preferred
over brOadcasting since the drill in.
sures a more uniform depth of plant
ing. Seed should be covered witt
about three inches of soil, with earIy
paintings placed a little deeper thar
the later ones. Slightly shaIlOwe.
paintings are better on heavier soils
When the drill is used for plantin,
peas for the first time the drill Shout,
be tested and set to distribute the de
sired amount of seed. An Ordinar-
drill set to SOW two bushels Of oat
per acre will SOW about the sam
amount of medium-sized peas.
Since peas ordinarily r sOwn wit
the grain drill it is especially i'm
pOrtant to have the seed bed in goo
condition and free from weeds be
fore planting. However, a leadin
grower in the Gallatin Valley has ha
good results from cuItivating pea
with a spring tooth weeder. He start
cultivation as soon as the peas az
pear above the ground and continue
until they are five or six inches higI
Cultivation should cease as soon a
tendrils begin to Irvine about adjOiI
ing plants. Some of the shorter
vined and more expensive peas ma
be planted in rows 20 inches apa1
and cultivated carefully.
