that yield. Laying-by figure of

eyes seem to offer a cash crop
of great promise.

“We will need 1,080,000 pounds
of green peas a day to operate at
capacity,” Little declared. R. W.
Eadger of Littlefield will handle
local markets for the green peas,
which mature in 60 to 65 days in
this area.
Market prices, in the vicinity
of $65 per ton, will be paid for
blackeyed peas in this area. Ex-
perienced blackeyed pea growers
in West Texas report that less
moisture is required for produc-
ing a good yield than for cot-
ton. Too, they may oe planted 20
to 30 days later than cotton, yet
still in time for maximum yield
the company representative said.
Blackeyed peas are legumes.
Legumes build up the soil and
serve as a cover for soil erosion
during Winter months. “Simple
deduction,” Little declared.
The early-market for blackeyed
peas is for green peas—those that
have matured. There will also be
a rrtarket for dried peas
year, he added..
Convenient loading places
be established in the area,
peas will be paid for when
are received.
A minimum average of 3,000
pounds of green blackeyed peas
for the canner per acre is the
general average for East Texas,
Little said. That would bring
around $100 per acre to the

West, North Parts
Of County Receive
Rain Monday Night
Rain for the week played favirltes
in Hockley county for the second
successive week. A good rain fell
west of Ropesville around the
Locketville gin, an area which re-
ceived barely a sprinkle last week,
when moisture hit other sections of |
the county. ' .
That section received between a
quarter inch and an inch and a
half of rain. At Levelland the
gauge registered .10 of an inch.
North of town a quarter-inch was.
reported, and Morton, in Cochran
county, received that amount. Show-
ers were reported at Sundown.
Threats of rain continued this
morning with low clouds overhang-
ing and the air cooled off to send
residents scurring for their jackets
and light weight woolens.
Sunday was one of the hottest
days of the early summer in Level-
land, and Monday continued warm.
Monday night’s shower cooled the
air considerably, and cloudiness has
prevailed since.
Farmers could very well use more
rain in all sections of the county,
but in most parts sufficient moisture
has been recorded for planting.
