As a soil builder or for forage this is one of the best crops that can be grown. Some years ago, its usefulness was confined chiefly to the South, but now the value of this crop in the Western and Northern states has been fully established and there is an increasing acreage planted each year. We recommend and list only the Whip-Poor-Will va- riety, which matures very early and produces a good growth of vine. When planted for plowing under, the seed may be broadcasted at the rate of bushels to the acre. If the crop is to be grown for seed, we would suggest drilling it in about a bushel to the acre. In the Northern states the planting should not be done until the ground is thoroughly warm, say from May 15 to June 15. For hay, the crop should be cut just as the first pods begin to ripen. Cow Pea hay is full of nutriment and is grown extensively in the South. As a quick-growing crop, it is excellent for pasture, especially valuable for that pur- pose to hog raisers. Like all legumes, it adds nitrogen to the soil and improves the land, even if pastured or cut for hay. As a fertilizer, however, the best results are obtained by plowing under the green crop or the stubble after it has been pas- tured. For any of the purposes named, this crop is well deserving of a place on every farm.

They should be sown in March or early April, two bushels of peas and two bushels of oats to the acre. The peas should be sown first and plowed under about 4 inches deep; the oats then sowed and harrowed in. Th
