Bean Culture

Owing to the present scarcity Of
bean seed, the Extension Service OF
the College Of Agriculture has secured
two carloads Of seed for sale at cost to
all who wish to buy. Beans are In
great demand for seed because many
persons are planning TO grow them as
an emergency war crop" and because
they are u good crop to replace winter
killed wheat.
SO long as the supply lasts, the Elk.
tension Service will book orders for
bean seed. The price will not exceed
90 cents a pound for Navy beans and
ls cents a pound for Pinto beans. The
price for Navy beans is {. o. b. lincoln
and for Pinto beans +. o. b. Sidney or
some point not farther west than Den
yer. The Navy beans are from Mich.
gan and the pinto beans from Colora-
do.
A statement just issued by Professor
G. W. Pugsley, Director Of Extension
Service, follows:
ave are having many inquiries for
Navy and Pinto bean seed. Pinto
beans are especially adapted to central
aud western Nebraska. We have made
an effort to locate bean seed In quan
titles and have succeeded in locating a
limited amount. The seed is very
scarce and it will be necessary to book
the orders at once in use we are to
take advantage of the prices quoted.
When the beans are laid down 1t may
be found possible to scale the price a
few cents a pound. The seed is being
located by the College Of Agriculture
CNcbraska) for sale to farmers at cost.
1T is necessary that cash accompany
the orders, and in case the orders can
not be filled, the cash will be returned
and the party notified at once. !

ed in quantities, a number Of farmers

shipping charges and will also reduce
expense in handling the beans"
"Orders may be sen to the Exten'
sion Service, College Of Agriculture
Lincoln. No definite date for delivery
can be given, but within a few days We
hope to be notified Of the approximate
date of delivery. Bean seed Is advanc
