  I expect that you will have more peas than you will want to sow next year and they will probably bring a pretty good price. Have you ever had any experience in keeping peas over? I am told that there is a weevil that works in them very badly but that this weevil can be entirely killed by treating the peas with Carbon bi sulphide ....&#13;
Yours very truly&#13;
