PEA GROWING.
FOE'.SUED AND CONSUMPTION. "If I had the power to influence the minds of farmers in certain .districts of JCeiv Zealand, it would be my endeavour to persuade them to take more interest in the cultivation of pea crops for seed and consumption in the United • Kingdom," v;ritcs a. correspondent, "AivjloColoninl." "The districts most suitable." he adds, "are tlie provinces of Marlborough) Canterbury, and Nelson. Growing peas is n very profitable industry if the land and the climatic conditions ui'O satisfactory. Tlie New Zealand Prussian Blue and Marrowfat peas rank next in riiialitv to those crown in Essex and Lincolnshire, and there is practically no competition. I have had something to do with tho trade this season, and f am sure farmers who encase in pea-grow in;,' will have nothing lo regret."
