cred dry" beans. White ones mixed
with the green damage the selling
price from a few cents to half their
value per quart.
On the market lima beans are sold
by the quart, hence the best pack is
the ordinary 16 or "a quart berry crate.
Real early beans often sell better in
pint boxes, as the price is so high that
customers of the retail stores DO not
want as many as a full quart. The
peck market basket is another package
used, six to ten quarts being put in
each basket with a covering OF green
netting 10 enhance the greenness Of
the beans.
Many beans cannot be shipped In
bulk, because they heat the easiest Of
all vegetables, and heating results in
souring, sprouting, mildew, spotting
and decay. Although itself green and
full of water, the lima bean must be
absolutely free from outside moisture
when packed for shipment, says Farm,
Field and Fireside. Nor must the
package in any way get wet, or a total
loss will result inside of IL hours. A
novice In the business often blames
the express company or commission
merchant for the spelling Of his goods
ana consequent bad returns, when 1t
is his own fault in allowing the beans
to be packed in a damp condition.
Sheling, as we'll as picking, must
be done by hand. Smelling is the more
tedious process. A good shelter can
shell eight to IL quarts per hour. One
and half TO two cents per quar-, is
usually the price for Smelling, children
NEST often doing the work, although
the supervision of competent grown
person is necessary at all times.
If for any reason the beans after
being shelleG are damp, they should
be placed for an hour or more before
packing on a clean cloth, or some
other clean, absorbing substance, in
the open air-but not in the sun. Thi:
is to dry the outer surfaces. They
shoulc be spread not more than an
inch deep and rolled from side to sidt
every few minutes to secure even dry
ing. The cloth will absorb a part Of
the moisture and the air the rest
Usually, however. no such drying
process is necessary.

Some Of the Things to Remember in

August is the month for. heavy pro-
duction Of lima beans. They continue
to bear, however, till the first hard
killing frost. The amount and length
OF profitable. bearing depends largely
upon keeping the vines picked clean
and not allowing pods to get dead ripe.

most vital substance out Of the plant
