Peas should be seeded early for:
the - best results, although good;
crops are often secured from seed-
ina as late as the first week in
Jane. The crop may be harvested
economically by cutting peas with.
a mower equipped with a pea lift-
ing attachment. The crop moat be
thoroughly 'cured in small covered:
bunches it is pointed out, before'
it is stored.
This value of the pea crop lies-
both in the worth of the peas as a•
feed for farm animals, and in the -
beneficial effect of the plant as -a.
suii improver. The average yield
of an acre of peas contains more.
digestible protein than any other
common Ontario grain crop, and.
the yield of peas per acre averages•
above wheat. The heavy yielding
varieties furnish excellent food for
pigs, and sheep may be fed pea
straw as roughage with good re-
sults, since it compares favorably
with clover and timothy hay as a
feed.
Pea,growingfor soil improvement
is quite profitable on sandy lands
that are especially lacking in hu-
ms. Peas are a good crop to sow
an clover or timothy sods the first
year after breaking, ae theygreat-
ly aid in subduing the soil. The
peas should then be :followed by a -
crop of grain, .and the land seed-
ed to c
eed-edtoc
lover,
The pea crop also increases the
nitrogen in the soil, as the plant
gathers nitrogen from the air with
the aid of nitrogen bacteria. In the
ease of new land, it is advisable to
raise peas twice in sueeession, a0
that the land may become rich in
the nitrogen gathering,
