Peas Sown on Small Grain Stubble Give^nc Soil-Building Results in Tills Stute. Clcmson College, Dec. 27.?The crop of cowpeas in South Carolina this year was unusually abundant and many farmers have made large quan? tities of both peas and hay. They are urged by the extension division of Clemson College to hold in reserve enough good peas to use for sowin? purposes next year. One of the best rotation practices for South Carolina is to follow oats or wheat by ^* cowpeas. Peas sown on grain stubble have an excellent effect on the soil and if those farmers who are sowing oats and wheat now will plant this land to cowpeas ne*t year they will find their land In a greatly improved condition a year from now.
