To produce best results all Clover 
Seeds, Field Peas, and Cowpeas should 
be inoculated with LEGUME-AID. See 
page 98. 
CANADA FIELD PEAS 
These are used for various purposes, chief 
among them being a very early green feed; 
when used this way they are sown with oats 
-bout April 1, at the rate of 114 bushels of 
Pegs and 11% bushels of Oats to the acre,

as late as July at the rate of 10 pounds per 
acre in drills. 56 pounds per bushel. Lb. 25c. 

COWPEAS 
These provide the most 
method of bringing soil back to a stage of 
fertility, as they grow in the poorest kind of 
soil, leaving it very rich in ammonia. In the 
latitude of Philadelphia, sow from May 1 to 
July 1, 2 bushels per acre broadcast, or 1 
bushel per acre in drills. For a large crop, sow 
the seed Jate. 60 pounds per bushel.

fine as Tennessee Golden and fully a foot 
Iess in height. It can, however, be sown 
some two weeks later. Sow 1 bushel per

ture is the primary object. Qt. 40c. 
Spring. An excellent early green feed, or for 
pasture. The grain is used for feeding and 
other purposes, while the straw Is of very
