Balletin Mo, State Board of Agriculture: Harvesting The harvesting and curing of cow- peas has been one of the most serious difficulties encountered by the grow- er. When cowpeas are @ut for hay they contain a great deal of water, the stems are fleshy, and it takes sev- eral days of good weather to proper- ly cure them. Too often a rain will come before they are cured, and this causes the leaves to drop off badly, resulting in a poor product. Peas, as a rule, can not be cured most perfect- ly in the swath unless the weather is exceptionally favorable. It is much .| better to let them dry for a couple of days, then rake into light windrows and allow them to finish curing that | way or to place them in tall narrow | shocks and allow them to stand for two or three weeks. Where they are cured in the windrows, a side-delivery | rake is almost essential to their proper curing. With this implement they may be turned over every couple of days until thoroughly cured, and this is especially necessary where rain falls during the curing period. Where the peas are very trailing, some ‘trouble will be experienced in hand- ling them with a side-delivery rake, or with any rake, for that matter, but with the general purpose varieties, this will not be of material conse- quence. Peas should be cut for hay about Sound Business is a Sound Bank WE INVITE YOUR BUSINESS The Peoples Bank BUTLER, MO. intimately Associated With all It assists every legitimate enterprise—it combines the working capital of a community and applies it where it is most needed, while its strength promotes the stability of all undertakings of its customers.

This is perfectly practicable | where they are well cured and where | the weather is favorable, but one} must avoid baling them with any |{" amount of moisture in them, as in the | case of clover. Where peas are} threshed it-is a common practice to} run the straw directly from the! thresher into a baler, and this baled | straw or vine, makes exceptionally | good feed, even if the peas have been removed. It has a feeding value} about equal to that of clover, and the shredding action of the thresher gives it a fine texture. $165 Reward!
