frequently makes the difference be-
tween profit and loss.
Preparation.

The first essential in growing most
truck crops is to get lot of humus,
or partially decayed organic matter,
into the soil and this can be best ac-
complished here and elsewhere by
turning under leguminous crops like
the velvet bean or better the manure
from cattle that have grazed these
beans. Here it is though best to fiat
break the land for beans first and
then pulverize same thoroughly with
harrows, later laying off the ground
into rows from two and one-half to
three feet apart and distributing the
fertilizer in the drill. The beds are
then completed and later knocked off
with drag or harrow to where they
are only slightly higher than the av-
erage surface of the ground. This
elevation is necessary because the
beans are necessarily planted very
early when, if drainage is poor, ex-
cessive rains are apt to rot them in
the ground. The crop can be planted
in very narrow rows but those three
feet apart are to be preferred for field
culture on account of being easier to
work with ordinary farm implements.
With the ground prepared as above
outlined the beans are planted with
! an ordinary corn planter with special
bean plate or disc, or else the rows
are opened with bull tongue and the
beans dropped by hand three inches
apart and covered about two inches
deep. Ordinarily it requires from 5-S
to one bushel of beans to plant an
acre, the quantity being determined
both by the variety and by the width
of the row. It requires, for instance,
considerably more of the wax beans
than of the greed podded Valentine
to plant a given area on account of
the relative sizes of the beans in each.

Kidney Wax and Improved

Wardwell's Kidney Wax and Improved
Valentine, the first having a yellow
pod and the last green pod. OF
these two the wax is about a week
earlier, being ready for market in
about fifty days after planting. The
green bean has averaged yielding per-
haps ten bushels more per acre and
when both have been grown to per-
lection, the wax beans have sold for
better prices and have been a lot
easier to pick on account of the larger
pods. Some of the earliest wax beans
grown by this station have sold for
as much as $3.50 per bushel hamper
on the Chicago market, though. of
course, this was an exceptionally high
price. Up to 1904 the wax beans did
remarkably well here, but since that
time anthacnose, or rust of the pods,
has been so prevalent that they can
not be grown at all and the truckers
have about discontinued planting
them, depending entirely on the round
podded green Valentine.
Though the Warwell Kidney Wax
bean has a fiat pod and sells well on
the markets, experience here has
been that green beans with fiat pods
will scarcely sell at all and we would
caution the truckers of this section
against them. Other standard varie-
ties of beans that might be expected
to do we'll here are Black Valentine,
Early Refugee, Stringless Green Pod,
and Dwarf Ger nan Wax.

Soils.

For early markets this crop require
well drained sandy-loam soil which
dries out and warns up early in the
spring and brings the beans to the
shipping stage in the shortest posi-
BILE time. Such a soil is preferable to
sitter lands that might make much
heavier yields but mature them few
days later, since a weeks difference

lime to Plant.

AS a rule the earliest beans bring
the best prices and every effort is u.s.
ually bent towards getting them on
the market at the earliest time posi-
BILE. Experience here has been that
beans planted the first of March will
not likely be killed by frost though
there may be light frosts after this
time. Some of the most successful
crops ever grown at Mcneil have
been planted considerably earlier
than this, but at the risk of being
killed by cold.

When Cobb gets on base. he thinks

Why Not Attell and Moran
Preliminary to Big Fight?

I center Of sporting interest the latter
part OF June and the first week in
/ July. There's no denying that more
sportsmen and sporting men will in
wade San Francisco during the fight
interest period than ever congregated
in one city in this country before.
The Johnson-Jefries fight won't
keep the crowd amused. Thousands
will be in San Francisco a week prior
10 July (. and they will require en-
tcrtainment. And, unless I'm mistake
en-, San Francisco will find a way to
do this same thing.
Remember, don't you, the fight car
nival In New Orleans In 1892, when
three championships were at stake.
and one was lost? Jack McAuliffe
beat Billy Myer in Is rounds; Geo.
Dixon beat Jack Skelly in eight
rounds and Jim Corbett beat John l..
Sullivan In q rounds. The purses
for these fights was sS2,50O. The
battles were fought Sept 3, 6 and Z.
The sports Will want something like
this in San Francisco. Why not
stage the featherweight championship
between Attell and Moran. the light
weight between Wolgast and Freddy
Welch. or any other legitimate light
weight OF class, with the main stem
for the windun?
There's a lot OF talk about Stan

before the Michigan smasher gets in
