GARDEN PEAS 
CULTURE—Peas may be planted in almost 
any kind of soil. In light soil during the 
warmer months they should be planted 3 
inches deep so as to be near moisture. In 
heavier soils or in fall months plant about 
1 inch deep, that warmth may penetrate 
and help germinate the seed. Rows should 
be about 214 to 3 feet apart. Excessive 
moisture will rot the seed, so do not irri- 
gate after seed is planted until the plants 
are well out of the ground. Cultivate after 
each irrigation. Usual planting is at the 
rate of 60 pounds per acre. One pound 
will plant a row of 150 feet.
