COW PEAS 
Fine for the South. Grown but little in Pennsylvania. Often 
succeed on ground too poor for soy beans and other soil¬ 
ing or cover crops. Cow Pea hay has about the same value 
as soy bean hay. 
Please don’t confnse Cow Peas with Canada Peas listed 
on page 28. They are entirely different. Cow Peas dare not 
be planted early. Canada Peas are planted very early! 
Handle Cow Peas about like soy beans. Inoculate the 
seed of both. Both are fine soil-enriching legumes when 
properly inoculated. Cow Peas don’t stand up so well. 
Therefore harder to harvest. But for pasturing, hogging 
down, or turning under, this trait doesn’t matter. Plant 
l]/ 2 inches deep. Inoculate the seed. 
“New Era” 
“Whippoor¬ 
will” 
This popular variety matures early, has more erect habits 
than other sorts. Mows easily. Vines are fine, with many 
branches. Makes good hay. 
A good, general-purpose variety. Is a vigorous grower. 
Early, fairly erect. Yields well both of hay and grain. 
GOLDEN MILLET AND COW PEAS—MIXED 
A great combination for either hay or green feed. Better 
than either seed sown by itself. Sow 3 pecks Golden Millet 
with 1 bushel Cow Peas per acre. Cut when Millet is in 
bloom regardless of maturity of Cow Peas at the time.
