Field Peas on a Palouse Wheat Farm'
By GEO. SEVERANCE, Formerly Agronomist.
I
r-
Field peas have long been a standard crop among the dairymen of
Western Washington, .where the rainfall is abundant, but very few of the
grain farmers of Eastern Washington realize that they may be grown suc
cessfully in the moister parts of tho Inland Empire or know their real value.
The numerous trials with field peas on the Experiment Station Farm at
Pullman have seemed to Justify their very general introduction on the
moister soils of the wheat belt.
There are several reasons for Introducing this crop. Nearly
all the older wheat soils of Washington are becoming more or
less depleted in nitrogen. This depletion is strikingly shown by the ranker
growth and darker color of grain wherever manure has been dropped or
where an old fence has been broken up. Like alfalfa and clover, peas add
nitrogen to the soil through the action of certain bacteria storing the free
nitrogen of the air in nodules on the roots of the peas. Upon the decay of
the roots this stored nitrogen comes into available form tor succeeding
crops. Peas have the advantage over clover and alfalfa as a soil renovat
ing crop in wheat farming that they may be grown during the year of rest
from wheat while clover or alfalfa must occupy the land two or three
years if grown profitably. They are inferior to clover and alfalfa as a
humus producing crop where the tops are removed, for the root system of
peas is not nearly so extensive as of clover or alfalfa and will add little if
any more humus to the soil than is broken down in the soil during their
growth.
That the more general Introduction of dairying into our system of agri
culture would give stability by distributing our risks, helping to maintain
our soil in a high state of fertility, and developing a more intensive system
of agriculture is generally recognized, but one of the greatest brawbacks on
most wheat farms is the shortage of feed during July, August and Septem
ber, even though alfalfa Is grown for pasture. Peas are unsurpassed as
a soiling food for cows and will supply this need from about July first to the
middle and latter part of August, after which corn that may be grown on
otherwise Idle summerfallow, will supply extra feed the balance of the dry
period.
Peas grown with oats will produce heavy yields of hay, rich In protein
and much superor to wheat or oat hay for cattle, sheep, or colts. Peas
resemble alfalfa and clover In feed quality, but offer the advantage of pro
ducing a full crop of hay in about three months from seeding, while the
land must be set aside two years for a full crop of clover or alfalfa.
Swine production offers exceptional remuneration to the extent that
hogs may be used to pick up the waste on our grain fields, but with no
other provision for summer feed, spring litters will not attain satisfactory
size during one season, if alfalfa pasture is used to start them ou, it be
comes pretty dry long before the grain fields are ready to turn Into. A

Field of Peas on Station Farm. Pea Ray in Cock, Standing Peas in Front
patch of peas will tide over this period and keep the pigs growing rapidly.
With a field of corn to turn into for finishing in the fall they will go onto
the market In excellent condition.
With land values in many cases ranging from $75 to $100 per acre, it be
comes increasingly important that we discover some crops that will enable
us to keep the land producing all the time. Peas may be grown on the
better parts of the summerfallow, thus aiding in the more complete utiliza
tion of capital invested.
Summary of Results on the Station Farm.
One or more tracts of peas have been grown every year since the
Station was established, but unfortunately in many cases the primary pur
pose at the time was to secure some feed or seed and the crop was not
treated as investigational and no data was secured. Space will not permit
of detailed discussion of each crop but the results so far as accurate data
Is available are as follows: 1897, .IS acres white peas, 35.6 bu. per acre;
.20 black-eyed marrowfat peas, 28.3 bu. per acre; Blue Prussian peas, 29.26
bu. per acre;; 1898, 2.3 acres marrowfat peas, 3.3 tons cured hay per acre;
1899, 2.5 acres marrowfat peas, 21.7 bu. per acre; 2 acres Canada field
peas, 38.5 bu. per acre; 1903, 1.81 acres marrowfat peas, 30.3 bu. per
acre; 1904, 1.81 acres, -9.3 bu. per acre; 1905, 12 acres, total production,
59.3 bu. seed, 14.93 tons hay (acreage cut for seed and for hay respectively,
not determined); 1906. heavy crop of hay, yield not determined; 1907, 3.5
acres Canada field peas, 1.64 acres at 4.2 tons hay per acre, 1.86 acres hog
ged off and yield not determined. (Peas shown in cut); 3.55 acres special
variety Canada field peas from the U. S. Dept Agr., 31.9 bu. per acre; 1908,
6.5 acres, 9.3 bu. per acre; 1909, 14.03 acres, 32.48 bu. per acre.
In 1909 the U. S. Dept. Agr. used the lower part of a south slope for
variety tests in square rod plots and secured excellent results, securing
yields ranging from forty to seventy bushels per acre of threshed peas. The
State Station secured part of the seed produced, for the use of the land and
will soon have seed of improved strains for distribution.
The heaviest yield of hay recorded is 4.2 tons per acre. This was se
cured on a rich north slope and is heavier than could usually be expected.
From two to three tons per acre would be a good crop in most seasons, on
properly prepared ground, unless clay points are seeded. Peas will not
make a profitable crop on clay points but on the ordinary wheat farm more
good land is available than will usually be needed for peas, without using
Claypoint land. If the area of clay point land on a given farm is more than
can be kept up with the barnyard manure available, it Is better to grow al
falfa than peas for increasing the fertility. The profit in this case, however,
will arise from the improvement of the land and not from the crops of
alfalfa.
The heaviest yield of seed secured from a fair acreage was 32.48 bush
els per acre and was secured on no better tract than could be duplicated
several times' on almost any half section of Palouse land, but the season
was favorable for setting and filling the pods. This yield could not be ex
pected usually. The general results indicate that with good sized tracts of
average soil, properly prepared, the yield should fall between fifteen and
thirty bushels per acre in most seasons.
The small yield of 9.3 bushels per acre was secured on a tract that was
largely heavy clay laud, seeded late. The better part of this tract, such as
should be selected, where land is abundant, yielded 15.1 bushels per acre.
The summer drouth began early so that the late peas were unable to set and
fill well.
Results of Ob-Operative Trials.
In the spring of 1909 the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company dis
tributed seed peas to a large number of farmers from the Demonstration
train conducted over their road by the Washington State College and Ex
periment Station. The officials have kindly permitted the Experiment Sta
tion to make use of the reports of results received from these farmers.
Forty-seven reports were received.
From Whitman County, eleven reported excellent results, seven fair,
and five poor results. Of those reporting poor results, one had seeded
the peas on timothy sod where good results would not be expected, one
seeded very foul land so the peas were choked out, and the others failed to
state conditions.
From Northern Garfield County two reported poor results.
From Dayton, Columbia County, four reported excellent results and
two reported fair results.
From Waitsburg, Walla Walla County, two reported fair results and
three poor results. From Proscott one reported fine results and one fain
results. From Walla Walla two reported fair results. From Touchet four
reported excellent results, one securing thirty-two bushels per acre. All
four trials were on Irrigated or subirrigated land.
The data received shows that a large proportion of the comparatively
few failures were due to improperly prepared seed bed, late seeding or un
suitable soil. In the drier part of our wheat belts, however, pea raising
will probably not be profitable except on specially selected tracts and under
the best of treatment.
Preparation of the Soil.
Deep fall plowing Is best, leaving the furrows rough and loose over
winter to Catch and absorb the snow and rain as much as possible. The
winter precipitation will settle the furrows so there will be less danger of
drying out than with spring plowing. As soon as the soil Is fit to work!
in the spring, prepare a deep, mellow seed bed. A smoothing harrow will
be sufficient on fall plowing.
If spring plowing is necessary the ground should be harrowed as fast
as plowed to conserve moisture and should be thoroughly worked down be- j
fore seeding.
Seeding.
Seed as early as the ground can be prepared, using an ordinary grain '
drill, set to run three to five Inches deep and seeding from two to three,
bushels per acre, depending upon the size of the peas. If the crop Is not to be
used for seed it will be best to seed about two bushels of peas per acre
and seed one bushel oats per acre one week later, setting the drill to seed
shallow so not to dig up the peas. The oats make a quicker start than the
peas and are apt to choke them if seceded at the same time. The oats hold
up the pea vines, facilitating the harvest. ;
Harvesting.
Peas may be cut with a mowing machine with an extended divider to
carry the swath out of the way. If peas and oats are grown for hay they
should be cut when the oats are coming into the stiff dough and the first n
pods are beginning to ripen. The feed will have much more substance th 6*
If cut earlier. Stock fed on such hay will be receiving a good grain rati
As soon as wilted nicely the vines should be rolled Into cocks and allow W
to cure like clover hay before hauling. . owed
If for seed or for grain feed they should be cut when the bulk of th
pods have turned yellow, and raked and piled soon enough to avoid shellin
They should be threshed with a machine fitted for the purpose as th
crack very badly, but in case no such machine is available, they may h
threshed with an ordinary machine by taking out the concaves. A eonrt
many peas will be cracked but the cracked peas have full feed value and if
seed is desired the cracked ones may be screened out pretty satisfnetn^n
with a good fanning mill. """"cioniy
For soiling peas may be cut as soon as the pods are pretty well forme"
There is little substance in the vines if cut before that time.
Soiling refers to the practice of cutting and feeding green feed without
curing. l
When fed off with hogs it is best to turn into the crop when the earliest
peas are full grown or beginning to harden. To prevent waste a movable
fence or hurdle should be used, permitting the hogs to feed off a small area
at a time.
When the peas have been removed the soil will work up very easllv
with a disk harrow, for the wheat crop following, as they usually leave Hip
soil mellow. "c
1. Field peas will produce profitable crops of bay or seed on good
average land, in the moister part of our wheat belt.
2. Peas are annuals and may take the place of the summerfallow
where there is a fair rainfall.
3. Peas are nitrogen gatherers,'hence will increase the nitrogen con
tent of the soil, but will not increase the humus of the soil like clover or
alfalfa because the root growth is too scant.
4. Peas will aid In keeping more livestock by furnishing green feed
for soiling during July and August or grain to be hogged off. or high class
hay for winter feed.
5. To prepare for peas plow deep In the fall. leave rough over winter,
prepare deep, mellow seed bed as soon as spring opens.
6. For seed sow as early as ground can be prepared, about two bush
els per acre with grain drill seeding three to five inches deep.
7. If seed is not desired bow one bushel oats per acre among the pea
one week later, seeding shallow to avoid digging up the peas.
8. Begin using peas for soiling (green forage) when first pods are
full grown.
9. Begin pasturing off with hogs when the peas are nearly all well
formed.
10. Cut for hay when the oats are in the stiff dough and first pea pod
are turning yellow, cure and handle like clover.
11. Cut for seed when the bulk of the peas are hard.
12. A good crop of peas and oats on good land well prepared -fill
yield 1 % to 2 % tons of cured hay per acre. A good crop of seed will yield
15 to 30 bushels per acre.
13. Peas leave the soil in nice condition to prepare for wheat without
plowing.
