The term t)riKinated probably in the fact that the earlier imjHJrtatittns of seed i)eas into this conntry came chiefly fn)m Canada. The field pea, as generally l<n«)wn, is of an npright habit of growth until it reaches a certain bight from the ground, more or less according to the presence or absence of wind and rain. Then it falls over unless sustained by other grain sther of the cereals to provide pasture for sheep. In Ontario a very large area is sown with peas every year. These are growji chiefly for the grain fcxxl which they furnish, but also for the winter fod- der obtained from the straw when cured. And in Ontario and some parts of the United States they are being somewhat freely grown in combination with other grain to provide soiling fot)d for sum- mer use and fodder in the unthreshed form for win- ter feeding. Peas are also sown along with oats or H vi!*m!%fir'vw»^n fffrximf^ '•^f-iim.
