Cow I t<is. 1 hroughout the South this pea has always been valuable for improvement 
of the soil, being to the South what clover is to the North. The seed is ground and used for 
coarse fodder. The stalks and leaves make excellent fodder when fed green. It is also 
highly recommended for ensilage when mixed in silo with green corn stalks. In the North 
it is considered superior to clover for plowing under as a preparation 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 thoroughly pulverized warm soil. If wanted 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 aud cultivate thoroughly.
