After the plants are thrown together

men with ordinary %pitchforks to follow
the harvester and place the beans in
small heaps to cure for several days
before storing them in barns or sheds
for thrashing. In some instances where
the work is done upon Il very extern

shelling is not considered sufficient to
justify the employment of hand labor
for punching the beans with forks an
