HARVESTING THE
BEAN cRjP
Published by Request of
Prominent Farmers
of the Potlatch.

The large amount of extra labor
necessary to harvest beans by hand
has been the farmers chief objection
to that crop. Hand pulling which is
a very slow and laborious task, makes
it impossible to handle only small
acreage without an excessive amount
of extra labor. The introduction of
the power cutter and the bean thresh-
er has had much to do with the in
crease in acreage grown during the
past few years. Many farmers,
however, who are for the first time
growing small area of beans can
not afford to purchase special ma
chinery and must resort to some
other method of piling and threshing.
The double row bean cutter can
be purchased through any first class
implement dealer. The grower should
see that the knives of the harvester
which cut the plants have back
ward angle of not less than sixty de-
grees. If they are too straight
trouble is often caused by clogging
especially if the ground is weedy or
full of stubble. One man with two
horses can cut from II to ID acres
per day with a machine of this kind
the acreage varying with the distance
between the rows. Two men with
pitchforks follow Immediately be-
hind the cutter and place three wind
rows into one row of piles.
Farmers not having large enough
acreage to justify their purchasing a
harvester, sometimes make a walk
ing plow or cultivator serve the pur-
pose of bean cutter. If a plow is
used, the mouldboard is removed
and the shear replaced by one 10 OF
II inches longer than the original.
By keeping this implement sharp
and running it shallow one row o1
beans may be cut at a time. If
cultivator is used all the shovels are
removed and long sweep is attach.
ed to each side of the inside shanks
The sweeps are made to stand in
ward and backward at an angle ot
about 90 degrees. They are long
enough to overlap each other. The
beams of the culivator are then
wired together in order to keep then
from spreading. In using either O
these devices care must be taken no
to run the knives too deeply. Small
clods are sometimes left fastened Il
: the roots of the plant. They ar
often so near the size of the bean
that it is difficult to separate then
from the seed during the threshinI
process.
The vines are left piled in tn
field until they are thoroughly dry
The length of time required in dry
ing depends upon the weather cor
ditions and also upon the amount G
, green material in the vines at cuttin
time. 1t seldom requires more tina
, two or three days for the beans t
dry enough to be hauled to the bea
huller or to be stacked in the field {
in sheds. Stacking in the field b.
fore threshing is growing in fave
, since in this way a large acreae
. may be handled without so muc
e danger of damage from rain. Al
. other advantage of stacking is tn;
, the vines and pods become toug

CELEBRATION At
KENDR|CK SUCCESS
With Excellent Weather
Large Crowd Enjoyed
The FESTIVITIES.

AT two thirty the morning of the
fourth of July the citizens for miles
around the little city of Kendrick
were awakened by the sound of
twenty guns being fired to let them
know the fourth was on. The
crowd began to gather at an early
hour and by the time the parade
started at ten o'clock the streets
were crowded by the people from
the different ridges and surrounding
towns. Promptly at ten o'clock the
parade started from the ball dia-
mond in the west end of town and
marched through the streets in
style. Every line of business in the
town was represented by a float.
Each and every one being a credit
to its owner. The parade was es-
corted by the marshall of the day.
John L. Woody, and followed by
the carrige hauling the president
and speaker of the day. Then
came the Lewiston Band. Then the
Goddess of Liberty car followed by
the boy scouts. and then several
autos belonging to farmers from the
ridges and town people. Follow
ing them came the floats for the
business men. The Rebekahs were
represented by a beautiful float.
Miss Hattie Benscotter, who was
chosen by the residents of Ameri-
can ridge, made a beautiful Goddess
for the occasion and certainly did
her part well.
Over twenty floats and autos were
in the line of march and from the
way the onlookers talked it certainly
was grand affair. After the par
.ade the crowd was entertained for a
short time listening to the address of
welcome by J. I. Mitcham. This
was followed by music and an ad-
dress by Attorney T. B. West. who
did credit to the occasion. The
Lewiston band gave several concerts
during the day and furnished music
for the dance in the evening. After
the program at the bowery everyone
went his way to find a bit to eat.
Plenty of shade. seats and rest rooms
had been prepared for the conven-
ience of the visitors. After the
noon hour came the program o1
sports, which created much excite.
ment and all went well. The fol.
lowing are the winners of the differ
ent prizes: Wade Gambler, half ol

contest; Gould Pickens. second il

directly from the field. The tough
ness is due to the fact that the vines
go into a sweat after they are stacked
and do not become thoroughly dry
for three or four weeks after the
sweating process begins. Another
advantage claimed for the stacking
method is that the beans in the
green pods at cutting time have a
chance to ripen before threshing.
The beans are usually stacked on a
layer of straw IL or ID inches in
thickness in order to keep the pods
from coming into contact with the
ground. The straw also serves the
purpose of catching any seed that
may be tramped out during the
stacking operation. The scattered
beans and straw are separated by
running both through the thresher.
The stack is started about 8 feet
wide by IL feet long. It is gradu-
ally bulged outward until at a height
of E or 7 feet it is 10 or IL feet wide
by 10 or 18 feet long. The top is
then gradually drawn in until when
finished the stack is about 18 feet
high. In order to keep out moisture,
each rick is covered with a large
tarpaulin which is anchored to the
ground by means of guy ropes to
prevent its being blown off.
In case it rains before the beans
are stacked, they should be turned
with pitchforks Immediately after the
storm is over The pods must not
lie to long on the wet ground as the
seeds absorb moisture very readily
and are liable to become discolored.
Care must also be exercised in hand
ling beans after they become thor
oughly dry for the pods crack open
easily and much loss may result from
scattering of seed.
Owing to the fact that consider
able loss may be suffered through
mismanagement of the machine,
threshing is perhaps the most ex-
acting of all operations connec, ed
with the production of dry beans.
The seed is so easily cracked that il
is difficult to get machine that will
do effective work. Beans threshec
!. with flail are usually in the bes
condition for market, but this is toe
} tedious and costly a process fo,
large acreages. The threshing i!
usually done with the bean huller
. using either a steam or gasoline en-
CINE for power. The machine is de
signed to minimize the loss by crack
ing. The huller, in reality, is ;
double threshing machine. Their
