To improve soil rapid- ly where clover will not grow, perhaps stock pcaa are the best. Farmers can plant an acre each year for seed and thresh them when they thresh other grain and after one year always have on hand an abundance of seed. Then a part of the ground can be devoted to the improvement process by means of the pea crop. This crop should be planted soon after you plant corn, planting about two and one half bushels per acre, then plow under just before the seed ripens. This crop gets ca...rbonic acid gas and ammon- ia from the atmosphere, and also has the power, not only to go down from G to 10 feet in the sub-soil, but has the power to throw out the acids and decompose rock material. The whole southern country can be improved by this one plan. There are hundi-eds of thousands of acres in the south which can be made first class fertile soil by the use of the stock pea. Cotton and tobacco are soil des- troyers and rapidly destroy the available plant food of the soil. The stock pea by being plowed under at the proper time aot only restores soil, but under the best of circumstances brings together all the essential elements for a perfect alluvial soil.
