growing Polo Lima Beans.

Mrs. John Gaillard, writing in Ohio
Farmer, says: D. B. j., Constantia,
Ohio, wants plain directions for raising
pole lima beans, and drying them for
winter USE A great many growers IN
this section stick to the pole lima, after
a fair trial of the bush sorts on a small
scale. Immense crops are raised on
small area. Growers have access to
tons of fish offal from the pound nets
that are in operation about planting
time. They gather this, and after the
ground is prepared and marked three
feet each way, poles only three fee'
hiph are stuck. The beans are not al

pinched back. Holes are dug next the
poles and some of the offal put In and
covered over. This stands about two
weeks; then, about Decoration day, the
beans are planted. Do not plant them
before that time. Too many fall In

ting seed in ground before 1t gets warm
enough to insure quick termination. II
will not do in this latitude until near
the first of June. II seed Is not out OF
ground In five days, 1t is too early. The
varieties planted are King Of the Car

latter Is raised the most extensively.
Procure seed OF reliable parties, ana
when ready to plant, follow rows anu

the pole, with the eye down. Never

never have any beans on, and they Will

or pure bone meal, or a fish brand OF
commercial fertilizers will give equally
as good results. We never save seed'
but buy seed every spring. II one
wishes to save seed. SO many hills must

them, but gathered as the. pods ripen
and all small beans discarded. In dry

pods seem filled between the beans, and
Just as they begin to turn white. II
shrunken between the beans, they are
too green. II the pods begin to turn
yellow. the beans are Just little too
old. They must be gathered twice

keted must be spread out over night,
as they heat very quickly II left stand

unfit for use. Those intended for sale
for winter use. are spread on shelves in
the shade to dry. Shelves made Of gal
vanized wire netting are best. as this
admits air from all sides. When dry
they must be put into sacks and solt
by the pound. While nearly all garder
products have deprecated in value tol
the last few years. lima beans, eithel
in the dry or green state, have hell
