120 Truck Geowing in the South. 



a tightly covered roof, make it nine feet to eaves, then con- 

 struct racks two and one-half feet apart and use 2x2 strips 

 placed one foot apart. Cut sufEcient vines to fill this rack 

 up, commencing in the morning after the dew has dried 

 off. Allow the vines to lay in the sun until late in the af- 

 ternoon if possible, but take them up the same day as cut. 

 If there is a possibility of having rain early in the after- 

 noon, they should be taken up before the rain comes. 

 Scatter them loosely over the racks, being careful not to 

 pack the vines, and allow an open space of at least six 

 inches between racks for a free circulation of air. If the 

 vines are put up without being wet with rain or dew, it 

 matters not how much rain should come afterwards', you 

 will have a first-class article of hay. It is advisable how- 

 ever to bale this hay if possible. While it incurs some 

 expense to build this shed, by having successive sowings 

 of peas, it may be filled a dozen times or more during the 

 season. 



Root Knot. 



This crop is very susceptible to root-knot and no va- 

 riety except the Iron pea should be grown on soil infested 

 with root-knot.
