For the Land’s Sake Plant Plenty of Cowpeas 
Cowpeas are the South’s greatest soil-improving and hay-crop. Pound 
for pound, Cowpea hay is as valuable as clover hay. Nearly equals in 
value alfalfa and wheat-bran. Contains four times as much digestible 
protein as timothy hay. Makes a fine feed for work- and beef-stock and 
dairy cattle. Does not require expensive fertilizer, but adds nitrogen to 
the soil and improves its mechanical condition. There is no cheaper way 
to improve land than by growing Cowpeas. 
Cowpeas can be planted any time from April until August, broadcast 
or in drills 3 to 4 feet apart. Cultivate two or three times. Broadcast, 1 to 
2 bushels are required per acre, and from 2 to 3 pecks for seeding in drills. 
Inoculate your seed for best results. See pages 61-62.
