Very few fanners seem to realize
the value of the Canadian Fluid Pea
In thu short rotation. This crop In
Ixinly nud will produce oxcelont
yields on most any soil adapted to
tho various farm crops. Fluid peas
can be seeded alone or lu combina

sunflowers.
Thu crop can bo handled for soil
ing, silage, utircd ror hay, matured
as n scetl crop, plowed tinder an a
green manure crop, or ran be hogged
or sheeped off.
It Is frost hardy up to the tlmo
It blossoms and sets pods, when It
will not stand front. There Is no
danger of loss uxcepl an a ceud crop.
It can ho sown ns early its any of
