FERTILIZE FOR COW PEAS.
(Ccndensed from a Bulletin of the N.
C. Experiment Station.)
The cow-pea has been eo long
known in Georgia as renova
tor of exhausted soils, and is so com
monly recommended for green ma
nuring, that many imagine that this
plant needs no fertiliser to assist In
its own growth. '
Although it draws nitrogen from
the air for its own usepfor each pound
of this ingredient it requires more
than a pound of potash and consider
able phosphoric acid, each of which
it must receive artificially where not -
supplied in the needed quantity by
the soil. A part of the nitrogen nee- !
essary for complete growth must also
come from the soil. If there be lack
of nitrogen, the beans will take on a
yellow.ish hue, and the plant will in
dicate its lack of vigor by a general
sickly appearance. About 75 pounds
of nitrate of soda applied to each
acre will prove a quick remedy for
this trouble.
Trials at the Louisiana Experiment
Station have shown that one acre of
average cow-peas contains 85 pounds
of nitrogen. 111 pounds of potash and
20 pounds of phosphoric acid, of which
the roots and stubble alone contain
8 pounds of nitrogen, 18 pounds of
potash and 5 pounds of phosphoric
acid. These figures vary, of course,
with different yields, but represent
about the average.
There is always some waste in the
application of fertilizers and it has
been ascertained by many experiments
that in order to enable cow-peas to
take up and assimilate 65
pounds of nitrogen, there must
be provided about 167 pounds of
actual potash and 40 pounds of phos
phoric acid, which are equivalent to
334 pounds of muriate of potash and
300 pounds of acid phosphate.
Phosphate and potash fertilizers
should always be applied before the
seed is planted, whether this be done
broadcast or in drills.
A good mixture for cow-peas Is 300
pounds of acid phosphate and 100
pounds of muriate of potash per acre;
or, if kainit is substituted for mu
riate, 400 pounds will be required to
furnish the same amount of actual
potash.
Where a commercial brand of fer
tilizer is usecf for cow-peas, perhaps
the best proportions on average soils
are, about 8 per cent, of available
phosproric acid and 6 per cent, actual
potash, applied at the rate of 400 to
500 pounds to the acre and thoroughly
mixed in the soil before the peas are
sown.
If the young plants present a sick
ly appearance, about 75 pounds of ni
trate of soda, mixed with four or five
times its bulk of dry earth, should
be used as a top dressing.
On sandy soils, when Cdw-peas are
to be planted, good use can be made
of 500 to 600 pounds of kainit and
300 to 350 pounds of acid phosphate
to the acre. If muriate of potash be
used in place of kainit, 135 to 150
pounds will answer. On dry soils less
potash and more phosphoric acid may
be used.
z Planting Cow-Peas.
Cow-peas may be planted any time
in the spring when the soli Is warm
enough for planting beans and there
after until within two months of the
time when fall frosts are expected.
According to a common saying,
“Early planting makes vines, but late
planting makes peas.” So the farmer
will be guided in his choice of time
for planting by the purpose for which
he plants.
In a dry season or in a naturally
loose, dry land, deep planting Is ad
visable. If seed be cheap and labor
scarce, broadcasting is usually th 4
better plan; but when seed is dear and
labor cheap, drilling pays better.
Where crab grass is abundant, its
quainted with the needs of the farm
ers of Georgia and neighboring South
ern States. This department sug
gested to Professor J. 13. Hunnicutt,
editor of The Southern Cultivator,
the preparation of a work of this kind’
and invited the co-operation of Profes
sor G. R. Glenn at that time School
Commissioner of the State of Georgia.
Such a work by Professor Hunnicutt
has just been issued from the press
of the Foote & Davies Publishing Co.,
of Atlanta, and is, therefore, a genu
ine home production, well adapted to
the farmer boys and girls of the South.
Every farmer should take pride in
his profession; for without such a
sentiment he cannot do hia best work
By pursuing proper methods he can
instill the same sentiment into his
children, so that they will find both
pleasure and profit in learning how
to make the soil grow good crops.
If farming is ever to reach, the
place which it should occupy, it will
be where the ohildren have been
taught its usefulnWs and beauty in
the school room.
The work of Professor Hunnicutt Is
so simple that even a teacher, who is
entirely ignorant of the theory and
practice of farming, can use it with
profit to his pupils and himself.
Many books have been written on
agriculture, but they are all more or
less treatises on agricultural chemistry.
This work avoids this channel, but at
the same time adheres strictly to sci
entific truth, while expressing it in
plain language.
It teaches the history of agriculture,
treats of the composition and kinds cf
soil, their preservation and improve
ment; how plants grow, the proper
use of manures and fertilizers; the se
lection and- planting of eeed with the
needed preparation of the soil for
their reception. Uwa cuXivotk/ik gather-
growth Is liable to choke out the
young peas in a wet sdkson. a point
to be carefully considered wbea
choosing between broadcasting and
drilling.
Cultivation,
If «own In drills, cow-peas should
be cultivated two or three times to
keep down the weeds and mellow the
soil until the vines are large enough
to thade the ground. A smoothing .
harrow or weed-er, just as the peas
are coming up, is best for the first cul
tivation; for the succeeding ones, a
five-tooth cultivator, or at least one
which rune very shallow. When
peas are planted between roves of
corn, sugar cane or other crons, they
are sometimes given one cultivation
at the time for laying by the main
crop, but oftener they receive no at
tention from planting until gathering.
If sown broadcast, they cannot be
cultivated-. . Some northern fruit
growers have adopted the plan of sow
ing cow-peas between the rows of
trees., claiming that such treatment
has many advantages. Some orchard
ists also claim that it pays, and at the
same time benefits the fruits and trees
,to turn in hogs and sheep In time for
them to eat the early wind-fall fruit
and work up* the excellent pasture into
fat, marketable live stock.
Saving for Hay,
Cow-pea hay should be cut and
cured when the earliest pods begin
to ripen. It is better to cut before any
pods are ripe than to wait too lang,
pods are ripe than to wait too long,
for, when too long delayed, the stems
become hard and woody.
Since the hay cures slowly and is
subject to heating, it should be thor
oughly dried before being stacked or
stored in the bam. The hay-making
should begin only when the weather
promises to be fair. Unnecessary
handling should be avoided, since it
causes loss of leaves. Since curing
cannot be rushed like that of grasses,
it is better to allow a crop to be a
little over-ripe than to attempt to save
it in rainy weather. The dry yield is
usually from tyo to three tons to the
acre.
Saving Seed.
When the pea crop is grown be
tween corn rows, or is fairly ripe be
fore it is grazed, or remains on the
ground for a winter cover, It is usu
ally good economy to gather the seed.
Some farinere prefer the plan of stor
ing the unshelled pods through the
winter, which in a measure, though
not completely, protect# the seed
from weevil. Some delay cutting un
til a considerable proportion of the
pods are ripe, depending on the peae
shelled in hauling and- found in the
bottom of the mow for a seed sup
ply for the next crop. The yield of
seed varies greatly. If grown be
tween corn rows and picked only
once, it varies from 6 to 10 bushels
per acre; but if grown alone and al
lowed to fully mature, and if all seed
are saved, the yield averages from
20 to 30 bushels per acre.
If seed is stored, injury to it
from the weevil can be pre
vented by treating the seed with
carbon bisulphide before threshing
and storing. The bisulphide will not in
jure the peas for planting or for ta
ble use, but must be kept away from
any fire, because it Is very inflamma
ble. No lighted lantern or pipe should
be carried into the building where
the seed is stored until the peculiar
odor of the bisulphide has disappear
ed, which will be in about three days.
GA. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE.
Agriculture For the Common Schools.
Many communications have come
to this Department in recent years
asking us to recommend a work
suitable as a textbook on agriculture
with the view of 1 aviug it introduced
into the curriculum of our common
schools and also from many farmers
desiring a work on general agricul
ture in the south. Until recently we
have had nothing •of that
kind prepared by any of
our own people, who are best an.
Ing and storing of crops; the prope
methods of marketing, and the best
investments of the profits that accrue;
treats also of farm labor, farm ani
mals and Implements; of every kind
of farming; and, in fact, takes & gen
eral and comprehensive view of every
thing that a farmer or a farmer's child
should know. The tables in the ap
pendix are just what every farmer
needs.
The Department of Agriculture
heartily endorses this work, and hopes
that it will be adopted in every school
and find Jts way into every family in
tie south.

Subs!itotCM For Tobacco.
Dried holly leaves, the bark of the
willow and leaves of the stag's horn
sumac are among the substitutes for
tobacco used by the American Indians.
In Switzerland a weed called mountain
tobacco is smoked in great quantities.
It is powdered before using and causes
the smoker to become a mental and
physical wreck. The natives of South
Africa are peculiarly affected by smok
' Ing the dried leaves of the camphor
' plant. The smoker trembles with
| fright at nothing, weeps bitterly and
■ uses all sorts of words which do not in
■ the least express his meaning. The
I wild dagga, another South African
I plant, poisons slowly any one using it.
