Just as soon as the frost is out of the ground, you can plant 
Canada Peas. They grow quickly. Popular way is to plant 
Canada Peas with an early oats—plant both just as early 
as possible— l]/ 4 bushels of Canada Peas with the same 
quantity of oats per acre. Both may be mixed and sowed 
together. Most folks sow each separately. The Peas should 
be drilled first 3 to 3 l / 2 inches deep. Then the oats l]/ 2 
to 2 inches deep. Deeper planting protects the Peas if 
very dry Spring weather is met with. If Peas are planted 
alone 2 y 2 bushels are required. 
The growth of Peas planted alone is upright for a time, 
after which it falls and completes its growth in a prostrate 
position. Planting with oats supports the vines, makes the 
crop more palatable, more accessible. 
Canada Peas make an abundant pasture for hogs, sheep 
and cattle. Yet trampling of stock destroys much of the 
crop. Some folks let the growth become tall, then mow 
and feed it green or make into hay. Cutting should take 
place when oats is comparatively green and the peas have
