A NEW TABLE PEA 
DIXIE LEE 
The Southern Table Pea (edible cow pea) 
has become a leading processing crop for 
both canning and freezing in the Southern 
States. Processors would like to have more 
of this crop grown for their trade, but often 
the farmer has not found the crop profitable 
because of low yields. 
The Blackeye and Crowder Types are best 
known on the market. Blackeyes have not 
given satisfactory yields in the Southeastern 
States, and the Brown Crowder has not been 
satisfactory in most areas, although this is 
the most popular strain of Crowders, though 
crop failures with it are frequent. 
The Dixie Lee Variety, developed at the 
Delta Branch Experiment Station, has proven 
a good producer under wide range of soil 
and climatic conditions. It has outyielded 
Blackeye and Purple Hull strains and in 
most instances produced more than the Brown 
Crowder. It has proven to be adapted to a 
wider range of soil types and conditions than 
these other types. 
The plant is a semi-bunch type in the al- 
luvial Mississippi Delta soils, but is a bunch 
type in most of the rolling and less fertile 
soils of the State. The rich Delta soils pro- 
duce more vine growth with all the varieties 
of Southern table pea than the nearby hill 
soils. Most varieties make a heavy vine 
growth and fruit lightly in the Delta, but the 
Dixe Lee usually fruits well regardless of the 
amount of vine growth. 
The large green pods average about 8 
inches in length and usually are well filled 
with large light green peas. The pods are 
green until maturity, then turn a light yellow 
coloring before drying, when they show a 
light brown coloring, that turns darker brown 
with weather damage. The pods ripen more 
uniformly than that of most varieties. 
The peas are shaped very much like that 
of the Purple Hull but are larger. The color 
is a light green until they begin to dry then 
they turn a light buff color with a light brown 
eye, and the seed coat turns darker brown 
with age or weather damage, similar to that 
of the Brown Crowder. 
Eating quality of the green peas is good; 
many prefer this variety over the Brown 
Crowder or Blackeye. It is especially good 
for home canning or freezing. This pea is 
apparently resistant, or at least tolerant to 
nematodes.

COW PEAS—Mung and 
COW PEAS 
FOR SOIL IMPROVEMENT 
WHEN AND HOW TO SEED 
Sow one to two bushels per acre broadcast. 
Two to three pecks in drills. When sown 
with soy beans, kaffir corn, sorghum and 
sudan grass, sow half a bushel soy beans or 
one peck kaffir corn or sorghum or 10 pounds 
sudan grass with one bushel cow peas to 
the acre. 
THE WHIPPOORWILL. (90 days.) Also known 
as speckled. The seeds are buff, brown or 
grey depending on type, and are speckled; 
they are spoken of as bush peas, but will 
make vines when planted on rich land; on 
poor soil they produce few vines and many 
peas. The plants grow upright, two to five 
feet tall—half bushy or semi-erect. The 
Whippoorwill is the most popular general 
purpose stock pea for either seed or hay. 
CLAY PEAS. (110 days.) The seeds are buff 
colored, medium size, the plant is large, 
vigorous growing and of vining or running 
habit, pods are large and yellowish. The 
Clay pea issued mostly for soil improving 
or green manuring. 
See List Enclosed « 
BLACK PEAS. (120 days.) Seeds jet black, 
vine or running, making a fine growth of 
vines and leaves—shy seeder, splendid 
land improver; most valuable as a forage 
crop; used also as a general purpose peda. 
If broadcast for hay mix some _ upright- 
growing pea with them to hold vines off 
the ground for cutting. There is also a bush 
variety Black pea. 
MIXED PEAS. (Hay 90 days.) For hay and 
soil improving, our mixtures consist of up- 
right and vining peas—the upright growing 
peas, such as Whippoorwill or New Era 
(when used) both hold the vining or running 
peas. 
RED RIPPER PEAS. (110 days.) Seeds are red, 
it is a@ vigorous growing vining pea. 
Like the Clay or Black makes fine yield of 
long vines. Shy seeder, very popular 
where known. Planted for soil improving 
and in mixtures for hay. 
NEW ERA PEAS. (80 days.) The seeds have 
a blue cast with many black specks—an 
early maturing upright growing variety, 
very prolific producer of peas, small vines 
cure quickly, splendid for hay. Seeds are 
smaller than Whipporwill and it does not 
require as many to plant an acre.

Velvet Beans 
MUNG BEANS 
Green Seeded 
There has developed an enormous demand 
for Mung Beans for commercial sprouting and 
canning. Heretofore the supply came from 
China and other Asiatic countries. The bean 
sprouts are used particularly by Chinese 
restaurants for making chop suey and other 
Chinese dishes. It is a lequme used to some 
extent as a forage, pasture and soil build- 
ing crop. Grows well on any type of soil, but 
best suited to warm sand loams. They are 
very hardy and disease resistant. The seeds 
are small and it takes 5 to 8 pounds to drill 
an acre in 3-foot rows. Broadcast 25 to 35 
pounds an acre. Beans mature in 90 to 100 
days, dependng on the season.

VELVET BEANS 
90-Day or Early Speckled 
It is very prolific and can be planted later 
than other sorts on account of its early ma- 
turity. Velvet Beans make a greater growth 
of vines and beans than any other known 
forage plant in the same length of time, 
therefore, one of the best soil building leg- 
umes. Excellent for grazing off green and 
cattle will fatten on them even after frost has 
killed vines.
