PflW Ppfl« Throughout the sotith this pea has 

 ^^UW r CdS always been vaQuable for the im- 

 provemenr of the soil, being to the south what 

 clover is to the north. The seed is ground and 

 used for cattle fodder. The stalks and leaves make 

 excellent fodder when fed green. It is also highly 

 recommended for ensilage when mixed in silo v\-ith 

 :j:reen corn stalks. In the north it is considered 

 superior to clover for plowing under as a prepara- 

 tion for wheat, as it matures the first year from 

 seeding. Poor sandy soil may be made into a fertile 

 loam by plowing under a crop of Cow Peas. Plant 

 seed in a thoroughly pulverized warm soil. If 

 Avanted to plow under for manure, sow in drills one 

 foot apart. If grown for fodder or for the seed, 

 plant three and one-half feet apart and cultivate 

 thoroughly. Price sent on application.
