Show Oats and Peas The following varieties of Canada field peas are good to sow with oats: Chang, Cloverland, Golden Vine and Alberta White. The common rate of seeding is two bushels of oats and one bushel of peas to the acre. Any soil that will grow good oats will give good results. On land lacking in fertility or on sandy soil, the amount of peas is sometimes reduced to half a bushel and a peck of vetch seed substituted for the peas. Sometimes Some-times the vetch is added without reducing re-ducing the amount of peas; sometimes winter vetch is used, sometimes half winter vetch and half spring vetch. Unless the field has successfully grown peas or vetch it is a good idea to inoculate the seed before planting. plant-ing. The same Inoculation can be used for both peas and vetch.
