Peas are scarce and high, but there is little chance of their going lower; and the sooner they are bought the better it will be, since there is a likelihood that a little later they cannot be got at any price.

A more abundant crop of peas or beans will result from planting them singly 4 to inches apart in the row than from planting the same quantity of seed in hills 18 inches apart in rows that are 30 inches apart.

30 inches between rows is a very good distance. In cultivating them stir the soil only 2 or 3 inches deep.

Unusual industry after a period of bad weather may make the bad weather quite profitable, since the average man will not put forth unusual efforts and will have a small crop; so that the man who does put forth unusual efforts will probably have a fair sized harvest and owing to the small crops of others a good price for what he does produce.

The scarcity of peas for seed this year is likely to result in similar conditions next year, so that a crop for seed peas ought to be profitable. By raising what most farmers will not raise one frequently makes money easily; and the pea crop can hardly fail to be short in 1907, owing to the big storm of last year cutting down the supply of seed peas.
