Otherwise rush over our bare fields.
September is early enough to sow any
of these fall grain crops, but July is
none too early to plan for our wheat,
oats and rye fields. A pea stubble is a
firstclass beginning for either wheat or
oats, as both demand a full supply of
nitrogen. If rye is sown on the pea
stubble it continues the work of reno¬
vation begun by the pea crop, and when
turned under in the spring lays the
foundation for bounteous crops of either
corn or cotton.
