State Boar! of Agriculture. | Seeding | There are various methods of seed- ing cowpeas, common to Missouri, jand the method to pursue depends | Upon various factors. Ordinarily for |hay, cowpeas are best drilled with a ‘grain drill, using the oat cups, and | sowing four or five pecks per acre. It frequently pays, on average sea- + Fr é than this, some ‘men putting in as much as two bush- els. This, of course, makes the hay ‘finer and the increased value of the | product is often more than the cost of |the extra seed. However, if the sea- |son is favorable, with an abundant | supply of moisture, and especially if \a medium trailing variety of peas is used, three or four pecks is usually ‘ample. In fact, under very favorable |conditions every other cup of the |grain drill may be stopped and the drill set to sow five pecks per acre, thus seeding at the actual rate about |2 1-2 pecks and practically as good | results secured as with heavier seed- | ing under less favorable conditions. | There is some difficulty in sowing |a large seeded variety of peas with | the grain drill as many drills tend to | crack them badly in the cups. This, | however, is not a very serious matter | where the cups are opened up to sow as much as four or five pecks per | acre. Peas may be drilled with the corn | planter at the width of corn rows and |cultivated. This practice is followed , |to a considerable extent in some sec- ' tions of the State, but fora hay crop | this is not usually so satisfactory, as putting them in witha drill. Where planted in this way, a peck of seed will cover an acre, and it is thus a great saving in the cost of seed, but this is off-set by the expense of after- cultivation. When peas are sown this way for hay, they are algo con- siderably more difficult to cut with the mower, since they fall down bad- ly and the ground being ridged by the cultivation, makes it almost im- possible to handle them. satisfactorily with the ordinary mower. There is a device on the market, however, consisting of large teeth, which are fastened on to the cutterbar, and pro- ject out ahead for several inches for the purpose of lifting up the cowpea vines and allowing the cutterbar to run under. It is usually necessary to use this device on rowed peas if the harvesting is to be done with any de- gree of satisfaction. Peas are frequently drilled with the corn planter, straddling every other row, “double rowing,”’ as it is called. This places the rows from twenty to twenty-two inches apart, depending upon the width of the corn planter. On soils that are exceptionally clean and where the planting is done rather late, so that there is little danger of | weeds, this practice works fairly well, but peas planted with rows so, close together can not be cultivated with any degree of satisfaction. In the first place, it is impossible to! drive straight enough to keep the rows the same distance apart, and un- less one uses a narrow gang cultivator some of the peas will be plowed up. Inthe second place, the wheels of the cultivator usually run on two rows, while the third one is being cultivated, and this is considerable injury to the plants. In certain sec- tions, cowpeas are put in this way, given about one cultivation and then the crab grass is allowed to grow, giving mixed hay of cowpeas and crab grass, which is not a bad combi- nation for wintering cattle. There is one precaution to be used in cultivating cowpeas, and that is to avoid cultivation when the dew is on. When the soil is thrown against the damp cowpea vines, it adheres and encourages the development of a fungus disease, which does consider- able injury to the plant. Another method which is frequent- ly used for putting the cowpeas in rows is to take an ordinary grain drill and close all but two or three of the cups, thus placing the rows 30 or more inches apart. This is satisfac- tory, asa rule, where one wishes to cultivate them. Asa matter of fact thirty inches is about the right dis- tance to plant cowpeas in rows where. cultivation is to be given, and this can only be secured by the use of a grain drill in this way or by a one-horse single row drill, or by remodeling a corn planter and setting the shoes at this distance. The broadcasting of cowpeas is a method commonly practiced in some parts of south Missouri where peas are especially adapted, but this is a wasteful method for the central and northern sections of the State, and even for most parts of the south third. Experiments at the Experiment Sta- tion have shown that it is only on ex- ceptionally favorable seasons when broadcasting is equal to drilling. There is too great a waste of seed where broadcasting is practiced, and frequently an entire failure will re- sult. ‘It is usually necessary to allow about one-fourth more seed than where they are drilled. Where cowpeas are handled for seed they should_not be planted quite so thick, as a rule, as where they are the —sea- son; the soil and the variety, have a great deal more to do with the yield of peas than does the thickness of planting. As a matter of fact, in the sections of Southeast Missouri, where peas are grown so extensively for seed, they are usually put in with a grain drill at the rate of three or four pecks per acre.

The time at which cowpeas may be seeded in Missouri varies from the first of May until the middle of July, depending upon the locality and sea- son. Asarule, cowpeas over most of Missouri are sown too early rather than too late, and this has been re- sponsible for a great many failures in cowpea growing. In Central and North Missouri, especially, cowpeas should not be sown before the last week in May, and usually the first week in June is early enough. In the southern part of Missouri they may be sown a couple of weeks earlier, but even there it is about as well, and many think better, to wait until the first ofJune before sowing. Where cowpeas are sown ut the same time corn is planted, and a cool week of wet weather follows, as frequently happens, the cowpeas are stunted and never recover their full vigor. A The difficulties in sowing cowpeas very late are the lack of moisture and the failure to get them matured be- fore frost. With early varieties, © however, like the New Era, and with a reasonable amount of rainfall, they may be sown as late as the middle of July, in Central Missouri, and a good hay crop secured. In North Missouri ‘the first week in July is about as late as they should be sown. For green manure, where one does not expect ‘to harvest the crop and where the | season is reasonably moist, they may ~sometimes be sown in Central Mis- souri as late as the last week in July, ' but this is not generally to be recom- imended except for the extreme south- jern part of the State. The difficulty jin getting enough moisture to start | their growth is the important factor ;in this case. | (To be Continued Next Week.) proposition, on the upland of Missouri, | where one wishesa good growth of} pods, it is best to select land a little | below the average in fertility, and also select varieties like the New Era, Whippoorwill or Black, which are known to be good seed producers.
