THE COW PEA.. 6l 



14. Hay made from cow peas is very rich in protein, 

 and if mixed with that of any of the true grasses the feed- 

 ing value of the mixture is far greater than either fed alone. 



1 5 . Cow pea hay is an excellent substitute for wheat 

 bran, is comparatively cheaper, and therefore, of special 

 value to dairymen. 



1 6. When grown together there is very little trouble 

 in handling cow peas and corn for the silo, and the com- 

 bined silage is of much better quality than that made from 

 corn alone. 



17. The cow pea can be used to great advantage as a 

 green manure crop at any time during the summer and in 

 almost every crop rotation. 



1 8. The cow pea can be grown successfully over a 

 wider extent of territory and on a greater variety of soils 

 than any other legume, and there are few farms on which it 

 cannot find a profitable place.
