FIELD PEAS 



Field Peas deserve more at- 

 tention for green-manuring and 

 for fodder than they now receive. 

 Where planted for' green-manuring 

 to add nitrogen to the soil, field 

 peas should be plowed under when 

 in blossom. They will grow on land 

 that will not produce clover. In the 

 north for dairy cows and for hogs, 

 they are fully equal to corn, and 

 about six weeks earlier. For cows, 

 the crop should be cut and fed 

 green. If intended for hogs alone, 

 they may be turned into the field as 

 soon as the pods begin to ripen. 



The seed of field peas can be 

 sown either alone or with oats as 

 early as the condition of the soil 

 will permit. If the stubble from 

 green winter rye or other crops 

 cut in June be turned under and 

 sown to mixed peas and oats, it will 

 furnish a large amount of forage 

 in August when grass pasture is 

 usually short.
