FIELD PEAS 



i ^Id Peas deserve more atten- 

 tion £or 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. 



No. 1 White and Common White, write for quotations. 



Not less than 10 pounds at the 100 pound rate. One hundred pound prices do not include transportation: 

 if ordered shipped prepaid add 8c per pound to the 100 pound price. We do not put up half pounds of peas.
