Messrs. Editors: One Of the best

farm is snap beans. Two crops can
be grown In this part OF the country,

when to plant and the kind to plant.

Der 18th for fall crop. The Golden
Wax has been grown also as . fall

when the little bean In the pod Is
about two-thirds grown. there Is no
reason why $75 to $126 worth Of
beans can not be sold from an -cre.

The greatest mistake the beginner
makes Is that he does not plant seed
enough. 1t requires not less than a
bushel Of seed per acre to insure a
perfect stand and that is what counts
in any crop.
1t does not require skilled labor
to pick or pack beans preparatory to
shipment and any nice box that will
carry about q bushel will do AZ we'll
as q costly hamper. In beans, the
main thing Is quality. Beans that
are tough should not be mixed with
nice. crisp ones. neither should little
beans that have not developed well.
Always keep In mind that quality
sells snap beans.
