FIELD PEAS 
Champion of England 
Field Peas deserve more at¬ 
tention for green-manuring and 
for fodder than they now receive. 
Where planted for gYeen-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 w r eeks 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 a? 
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.
