PEAS 
Culture: Peas are grown successfully on various types of well-drained, non-acid, mellow soils 
but deep fertile loam with some clay mixture is best under rainfall conditions. In western 
areas, under irrigation, lava ash and loess with good humus content produce the most satis¬ 
factory crops. Fall plowing is recommended, also application of lime where needed. Sow 
seed broadcast with gram drill as soon as land can be properly worked in the spring. When 
commercial fertilizer is used, direct contact between seed and fertilizer should be avoided. 
SVz to J/d/z bushels are required to plant an acre.
