Improving Land With Cow Peas
and Oats and Profitable Crops
While at It.
I am now drilling in oats in be
tween cotton grows with Cole's Com
bined Oat Sower and Guano Distrib
utor. This early sowing often doubles
the yield of oats, which compensates
many times over all damage to the
cotton.
Where the cotton rows are three
and one-half feet I use a six-inch
feet wide I use a four-inch bull
tongue and drill in three rows of oats
between rows of cotton.
Where we follow pea crops with
oats we break the land as deep as
possible. If the land is rolling use
reversible disc plow, throwing dirt
down hill at every furrow. Harrow
smooth, then start the Oat Sower at
upper side of field, running rows to
drain in open furrow of previous open
drill. The tapering wheel of Cole's
Oat Sower that follows behind press
es a light covering of loose dirt on
the seed, leaving the open trench in
the best shape to stand winter freez
ing weather.
On thin lands we use 150 pounds
to 200 pounds acid phosphate to the
acre under each crop of oats and the
cowpea crop also that invariably fol
lows the oat crop. The doube hopper
Cole Oat Sower puts in the phosphate
at the same time of drilling in the
oats or peas, which manures on fall
sown grains for the reason that we
believe all soluble nitrogen in this
fertilizer is leached out by rains be
fore the growing season of the crop
coems.
We wish to impress the fact upon
the minds of beginners that it is of
first importance to use none but pure
clean winter grown seed oats. We
never fail making a good crop of oats
by this plan, and in three years' time
we have made abandoned cotton land
thribble the yield, making two prof
itable crops each year while at it.
