THE ZEBULON RECORD. ZEBULON. NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST TWENTY-FOURTH, 1934
Plant Austrian
Peas in Fall
Austrian winter peas make an
excellent fall legume for improving
almost any North Carolina soil.
The peas are equal to crimson
clover or vetch in soil building
qualities and the seed is compara
tively cheaper to sow although
more seed is required, the planting
rate being 30 pounds to the acre.
Thij best time for sowing is in
September, preferably before the
15th. The Austrian winter pea
seed may be obtained from almost
any seed dealer.
The seed may be broadcast in
standing corn, cotton, or tobacco
and covered with an ordinary walk
ing cultivator. To avoid loss of cot
ton. the sowing should be just be
fore the bolls open or right after
the first picking.
Another way of seeding is to pre
pare the seed bed by shallow plow
ing or disking, then sow the seed
and cover with a section harrow.
Blair recommended.
The peas should not be sown
with rye. as the two crops will
not be ready to turn under at the
same time. But they may be mixed
with vetch or crimson clover to get
good results.
Sown by themselves, the peas
may bo turned under earlier in the
spring than either vetch or crim
son clover.
Although this legume is new to
this section of the country, it has
proved to be an excellent legume
and will probably increase in pop
ularity as more farmers learn of
its merits.
Rolesville to Get
Its High School?
The county commisioners recent
ly voted S3OOO for school building

the idea of establishing a good high

Big State Fair
Raleigh, Aug. 24—Nothing is
being left undone to make the

a number of inquiries about exhib

the homes of our state.”
