v the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 14th 1941 item of interest to is the local farmer our farm page field pas as a farm crop the acreage devoted to the produc tion of field pease in ontario has mduaby decreased during the past forty years until this crop now oe- ftries a relatively unimportant place cgocept in a few scattered districts on these districts however the crop being flavoured as a rule with good and good markets is held in high m spite of the apparent lack of ta- ftarest to this crop a comparison of tihe narket value of different crops grown to the province shows that the value per acre of field pease enjoysja higher mrccasb than does that of either barley or oats by taking the average at a fiveyear period the value of an acre of peas at prevailing prices was trnv- at tl6 the acre vakoe of bariey was taeo while that of oats mas 1180 says dr lh new nan dominion oereattst central ex perimental farm ottawa one of the objections to the growing cf peas has been the difficulty entail ed in harvesting not only is the crop ouffcult to handle hot the losses ttvough shentog when harvesting takes place in the usual way are of ten serious this harvesting difficul ty may be o where a small combine is used as such a machine is capable of i up and threshing the crop without much difficulty and with very little kiss of grain where a combine is used the crop should be left until dead ripe field pease are grown chiefly for tbt making of pea soup it is esttma ted that the city of montreal atone re- cjolree about 135 car toads each year for pea soup recently a new method of joqpmalrtng has male its appearance whereby peas which will not boll sat isfactorily may he used this method posabhr may provide a new outlet for the crop there is always more or less demand for peas for sowing in groin mixtures sere they are used to increase the protein content of the resulting crop jtnee peas are approximately three times as rich in protein as either oats or barley where maximum produc tion of protein is desired results at the central e farm ot tawa indicate that this may be at tained by growing peas alone any de- atred gram mixture for feeding pur poses may be made up later the value of pea straw especially jar feeding sheep has long been rec ognised when harvested and cured properly especially if cut a little on the green side and then housed or tacked caref udy pea straw is con atdered almost the equal of hay as a soiling crop in conjunction with some other grain such as oats peas are highly prized owing to the large yield of rich succulent fodder obtained the value of a green crop of peas and oats for feeding dairy cat tle when pastures became short is widely appreciated as a gatherer of nitrogen from the air pease like other leguminous crops are especially valuable they may be grown satisfactorily on a variety of sous but appear to do best on good clay loams which are well supplied with hrne and well drained pease in the ottawa valley appear to give best re turns when sown on fall ploughed sod one of the reasons for this probably is that pease cannot compete well with weeds and fall ploughed sod is likely to be relatively clean the most popular varieties in on tario at the present time are chan cellar arthur and ojlc 181 a fourth variety known as early blue usually yields well in areas to which it is ad anted namely on soils where the ateaw of other varieties is liable to grow too long the quantity of seed peas required per acre varies a good deal with the variety the usual practice is to sow small seeded varieties such as chan cellor and oaxj 161 at 3 bushels per acre while the larger seeded varieties aucn as arthur usually are sown at about three bushels may 18th best time to plant potatoes later plantings beaou in lower yields ontario dept of agriculture tests show when is the proper time to plant potatoes results of experiments conducted in middlesex and south simcoe indicate chat from the 18th to the 26th of may the most desirable time to plant says 4he ont dept of agriculture these results are supported by similar finds at the ontario agricultural col lege ouelph and the central experi mental farm ottawa the tests showed that potatoes plan ted may 18th yielded 374 bushels of marketable potatoes per acre the yield dropped to 248 bushels per acre when planted may 25th and 224 bush els when planted june 2 potatoes planted june 10th showed an average of only 198 bushels per acre the value of proper and consistent spraying has also become an estab- thb things that matter prime minister menzles of
