five bushels exhibited at the
Minneapolis Land Show in
November. With the splendid
grain crop assured for Oregon,
this state should nave any

a very promising growui un wj
demonstration fields and there
is every indication that this
ill he one of the best for
this region, and should be rgown

IIIUVI1 w w - - - v
is at present. Field peas will
mntre An excellent seed crop es
pecially for dry land, and even
when conditions are not satis
factorv 'for growing the seed,
large crops of hay may be se
cured.
Field peas are annual legumi
nous plants similar to the common
warden Dea. Like other legum-
-
es they add nitrogen to the soi
rhrnncrh the tubercles on their
... ro "
roots which contain nitrogen
gathering bacteria.
Field peas attain their highest
development in northern lati
tudes or high altitudes for they
rennire cool weather with in-
creasing heat as they ripen
While peas do best on medium
fertile silt loam, they are not
narticular as to soil except that
it must be well drained and
fairly free from alkali. Un ac
count of the large sized seed they
may be used in supdueing new
land. They will stand consider
able frost and have not been in-1
jured by heavy frosts on the
high plains south-west of Bend
when most other crops were
frozen down.
The culture of field peas is
similar to that of small gram.
Disc grain immediately after
harvest and deep fall plow. Then
disc and fit the rgound early in
spring and seed early. . Peas re
quire about 100 days between
seeding and maturity. Seeding
should be done on the lower
plains in the northern part of
the county about April 1st: in
the irrigated section about April
20th : and on the high plains south
east of Bend about the middle
of May. Seed are worth about
$2 to $2.50 per bushel of 60
pounds. The White Ccanadian
variety is about the best to use
here. The Golden Vine and Blue
Prussian also do well. Seed two
or three .inches deep according
to the moisture conditione and
drill the seed with any grain
drill that will not crack the seed,
and preferably with the press
wheel attachment. For irrigated
sections use about two bushels
an acre and for dry land half that
much. Experiments indicate
that it is best to plug up part of
the drill holes and seed in double
rows about two or two and a half
feet apart. Handled in this way
they should be given little culti
yation, and where water may be
had light furrow irrigation fol
lowed promptly by level cultiva
tion should be the practice. Peas
in -this section may reasonably
be expected to yield from one to
two and a half tons of hay per
arce or from 10 to 20 busels of
seed per acre.
Peas may be utilized for pas
ture, soiling, green manuring,
hay or seed. They make excel
lent hog or sheep pasture and
should be hurdled off at a time
when the peas are hardening in
the pod. Threshed peas contain
about 8 per cent, protein (in per
cent, dry matter) and the whole
plant used as hay together with
some oats or barley makes an
ideal ration. The threshed straw
has a fair feeding value. The
crop is ready for soiling as soon
XT II f i
as ino peas uru wen iormed in
the pod. They are cut for hay
when about right for table use.
Peas for seed should be raised
in cultivated rows and cut when
the lower pods are nearly brown.
They shatter badly and must be
cut with a drop rake reaper or a
buncher attachment
Peas make an excellent soil,
mproved to use in a three year
rotation and following grain in
hat rotation. It is common
knowledge that continuous grain
growing depletes mo buu o ni
trogen supply. Where the oac-
teria which cause the nodules on
the roots of peas are present they
fix the nitrogen of the air into
compounds which will be partly
used by the growing crop ano
partly left in the soil. Where
nodules do not appear on tne
rnnf no nitrocren is added
and though the peas may mature
seed, it is best to inculcate or
put the bacteria into the soil
where peas are to be grown.
This may be done by transferring
soil from a field where nodules
are to be found on the roots of
peas and harrowing in at time of
seeding. Pure cultures ot the
proper bacteria may be obtained
for inoeulatintr through this
office. Nodules are abundant on
the roots of field peas at the
Redmond Experiment field but
are not present on -the peas at
the Metolius field this year. A
cultivated pea crop leaves the
land free of weeds and in better
moisture 'condition than an un
titled fallow.
Field neas can also be used to
advantage in a cron rotation as
compared to alfalfa or 'clover.
The peaweevel which frequent
ly injures the germinating power
of pea seed may be killed by
fumigating with carbon bisul
phide.
The effect of growing field
peas extensive'y will be to aid
diversified farming and stock
feeding, W. L. Powers
