FAcas imm Hfinlw Peas Wordi ire Than $3 Per Payment T-y.: '. .-■, Thousands of North Carolina far- tmers are sowing Austrian winter peas this fall in order to complete their AAA soil building^ units. They hope reventually- to receive a payment of ;$3.00 per acre for turning under the . legume. E. C. Blair, Extension agronomist of N. C.' State College, says the far sighted farmer will sow winter peas even though he has earned all his ' Triple-A soil building units. “The peas pay much bigger dividends than the $3 per acre government payment,” lie asserted. Using tests carried out by farmers in 1941 as the basis for his statement, Blair said that winter peas turned 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 de monstrations conducted by farmers in - cooperation with their county agents. In Bertie Coimty, W. J. Mizelle turned under a crop of Austrian wint er peas and produced 48 bushels of com per acre without fertilizer. Ad- joitung land of the same type, where no peas were turned imder; yielded 28 bushels of corn per acre. The latter field received 250 pounds of 3-8-3 fertilizer and 50 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre. R. R. Rouse of Lenoir County made 44 bushels of corn on land where peas were turned under; and 19 bush els per acre on a field where no legume was grown. This was on very sandy land; and the entire crop re ceived 200 pounds of 2-10-6 ferti- LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE I, Philip J. Hurt, this the 15th day of September, 1941, having purchased from E. C.
