Bean Culture

In discussing the culture of onions
two weeks ago, l gave the names of
a large assortment. 1t must be re-
membered that the discussion of the
subject was general, and l took for
granted that the farmers about here
knew what varieties would flourish
best. Since then, however, my at
tention has been called to the fact
that not all of those would do we'll
here and that, the mention of all of
those varieties might prove mislead
ing. | wish therefore to state here
that experiments made during several
years at Baton Rouge have resulted
in the report that the varieties making
the best average record in productive
ness and other desirable qualities are
the following: Red Bermuda, White
Bermuda. Creole and Prize-Taker.
Other varities tested, about sixteen
in number, did not make good aver
ages
And now we come to the question of
BEAN CULTURE
The preparations of the ground and
the fertilizing for this crop do not
differ in any degree from from that
of any ordinary truck, and is too we'll
understood to need special mention.
There has been, however, one seri-
GUS drawback to the raising of beans
for profit in this State, namely, the
diseases that attack them.
But, true to its mission, the Exper-
ments Stations have worked faithfully
and carefully on this question, and
have been rewarded by success.
| do not mean by this, that they
have discovered cure that they can
work in some magic way in order
to rid the State of the pest.
They have discovered the cause of
the disease and give US the method by
which it can be controlled, if not ex-
terminated.
POD SPOT.
The most widely known and there
fore the most feared of the diseases
that will attack the bean crop is Pod
Spot.
l cannot do better than to quote
from Louisiana Bulleton No. 116, is
sued June 1909, from Baton Rouge.
NATURE OF THE DISEASE.
To understand the method of con-
troll, it is necessary to understand the
general nature of the disease. The
Disease is due to very small organ
ism which causes the decay of the
bean substance. All understand that
germs cause disease in man and ami
mails, but the fact that they also cause
diseases in plants is not so generally
understood. The organism that causes
the spot on the bean pods is a very
small plant, or fungus, as it is general
~ called, which can be only be seen
clearly by the use of a strong micro
scope, AS higher plants reproduce
themselves by seeds, this fungus re-
produces itself by very small micro
scopic bodies which we call spores.
These fall on the young bean pods and
Hx- l.
pod. The fungus uses the bean pod
for food. After the fungus has been
growing for few days in the pod, it
begins again to form the spores on
the surface of the spot. Millions of
these may be produced on a single
bean pod IN a few days time. The
Shiny pink substance which is present
in the spots is nothing but mass of

all be sure to use only good seed, and
use Southern-grown rather than
Northern-grown seed. After the first

these spores. These spores carried to
another pod produce again the spots.
AS these spores are imbedded in
gelatinous mass, they cannotbe readily
removed when the pods are dry. Hence
we see the reason why we should not
walk among or cultivate the beans
while they are moist. There is a great
danger of spreading the disease to all
parts of the field.
THE CONTROL OF THE DISEASE.
In the control of the disease there are
two things to be taken into considera-
ton. If you buy Northern seed, you
are in most cases buying seeds which
are more or less infected. In other
words, you are introducing the disease
in your field with each infected seed.
In this case there can be nothing done
other than to try to keep the disease.
from spreading from the diseaaed
plants to others. This is often difficult
to do on account of weather and other
conditions. Before planting time in 1909
a circular letter was sent out to a
large number of truck growers in re-
gard to the control of the trouble.
Certain suggestions were made which
we believed would be helpful in check
ing the spread of the disease. These
al
l. Plant the beans if practicable so
that the plants will not touch each
other when grown. 1--WE have found
three beans to the hill and the hills
eighteen inches apart very satifac-
tory.
2. After the beans come up, stay
out of the field until the cotyledons, or
large, thick, seed leaves, drop off.
This will only take few days. This
disease is carried through on these
leaves, and on walking through the
field the disease is liable to be carried
from diseased plant to healthy ones
on the clothing.
3. After the cotyledons have fallen,
the plants may be cultivated or hoed
as desired, taking the following pre-
cautions: Do not enter the field when
the plants are wet, either from dew
or rain. Only, enter the field when
the plants are perfectly dry. The
germs of the disease are very sticky
and are easily carried from plant to
plant when moist. However, when
they are dry; it is very difficult to rub
them off from the diseased plants. Do
not by any means try to hoe or cult
vate the plants while wet, as you are
sure, if there is disease at all in the
field, to carry it to all plants.
4. Also in picking the beans, do so
only when the plants are perfectly dry
If, in spite of these precautions, the
disease should show itself, spray the
plants that have not become affected,
thoroughly with the following solution:
Copper sulphate (biuestone) 6 lbs.
Lime, pounds.
Water to make so gallons.
Dissolve the blue stone by trying it
in small quantity of hot water, and
then adding water up to twenty-five
gallons. The lime should be best quail
ty (not air sIaked) and should be care
fully slaked in small quantities of
water until thin, smooth paste is
obtained. Then add water to make
25 gallons.
Now pour the two solutions together
in large barrel, being sure to mix
thoroughly by stirring.
The mixture (called Bordeaux Mix
ture,) should be of a bright sky blue
color.
