Winter Peas Worth
More Than $3.00
Per Acre Papent
Thousands of North Carolina
farmers are sowing Austrian win-
t^er peas this fall in order to com
plete their AAA soil building un
its. They hope eventually to re
ceive a payment of $3.00 per acre
for turning under the legume.
E. C. Blair, Extension agrono
mist of N.. C. State College, says
the far-sighted farmer will sow
winter peas even though he has
earned all his Trfple-A soil build
ing units. ^‘The peas pay much
bigger dividends than the $3 per
acre government payment," he as
serted.
Using tests carried out by farm
ers in 1941 as the basis for his
statement, Blair said that winter
peas turned under in the spring
will increase the yield of corn that
follows as a summer crop by $15
worth per acre.
Here are reports of several
demonstrations conducted byl'arm-
ers in cooperation with their coun
ty agent:

What investment will guarantee. the education of
your children and keep the home intact—whether
you live o^ die?
What investment will provide old age security and
