HE pea industry of the Pacific Northwest is one of the leading specialty crops. Dry peas are grown for seed and other purposes, and green peas, mostly of the sweet variety, are canned. In addition, fresh peas are sold in season for local consumption and increasing quantities are frozen for winter use. The raising of seed peas has been carried on for many years and the bulk of the pea seed of the nation comes from the Pacific Northwest. In contrast, the pea canning industry has been important for only a few years. Oddly enough, the Palouse region of eastern Washington and adjacent sections of Idaho raises peas only for seed, not for canning, yet for a generation has furnished a majority of the seed peas planted for canning. On the other hand, the Blue Mountain district now processes over one-fifth of the canned peas of the country yet raises little pea seed for sale
