(Daily Mail) Editor Daily Mail, Dear Sir:?r read an article in the Mail some time since by Col. Stribling on a new crop, experience with this crop on rvy\r wficfnrn fo rme Ifoffir MfllCP and Feterita are grown extensively out in the pan-handle of Texas for a money crop, all of which are good,but they do not consider Feterita to* be the equal of-the other two. I do not know what success would attend its culture here but they are good crops out there. I have known as many as 80 bushels of Kaffir and Maise to be grown on one acre of land. I know the farmers out there do not value the Feterita as highly as the other two crops mentioned;, but we have a money crop here that; * we all know will beat cotton, two to one, and that is the cow pea. It will grow on the poorest land we have and make a crop without fertilizer, and at the same time make*, the land better for the crop. The . nay LKJ in a peas 10 tu picpaic tiic * land like you would for cotton and drop the peas in hills and work them and you will scarcely ever fail to make a good crop. Then you can sell them for the cash just as readily as cotton. It is a whole lot cheaper to grow and will bring more money per acre than cotton. It is amazing that our people will not plant them for a money crop. Plant them in drills, about two feet apart in the drill and work them. They will make fifteen to twenty bushels per acre on land that it will not pay to> cultivate in ordinary crops. Try it and be convinced. R. F. Morris. Willington, S. C. o J < Common Sense.
