II Is q common mistake to suppose
that beans do best on poor land. and
do not need any manure. Old farmers
often say. 'the land was too rich" and
therefore the beans ran all to vines
without producing much grain" But
this Is the best indication that the land
was not rich enough Beans require
phosphate of lime and potash. Many
black, mucky soils are supposed from
their color to be very rich. But such
soils often have great lack Of lime
and potash. In fact. an excess Of loan

Succotash was an original Indian
dish, and to the Indians we probably
owe the practice OF growing corn and
beans interspersed In the same field
Usually when the early planted corn
falls, q hill of beans is placed In the va
cancy where the corn should have been.
Still another way Of growing beans
among corn Is 10 wait untfl near July,
and then plant hills between every hill
of corn. and thereafter cultivate only In
the rows that are free from the beans.
On good land a considerable crop Of
beans may thus be grown, and without
interfering with the corn crop. We
have tried this plan when we were liv-
ing In city, where all our gardening
had TO be done on city lot and 1t was
necessary to make the lind produce as
much as II could be made to do.-Amer-
