The selecting and cutting of poles
for the vines of the bean to grow on is
no easy task, even where timber is
plentiful, ard in prairie country it
is a problem. have found substi-
tute for the pole in the old-fashioned
sunfiower, one stalk for each hill.
They are ornamental, the seed is good
for the poultry and the stalks make
fine kindling wood. Some may claim
that the sunfower will take the
strength OF the ground from the beans,
but my experience does not agree with
this. The finest beans ever raised were
