Description:
Photograph of the farm of C.L. Miniek of Hedley, Texas. Cotton following cotton with cover crop of Austrian winter peas yielding three times as much cotton grown on the same type of land without a legume cover crop.

The Austrian winter peas were inoculated and 100 pounds of phosphate fertilizer was applied per acre at the time of planting.
