rows and not in hills. The rows may
range from % to SO inches apart. Thirty
inches is a common distance between
rows. The individual plants in the row
may range from two to four inches
apart. The seed may be planted with
check row corn planter set to drop
the seeds in drills or the ordinary grain
drill may be used, stopping up the tubes
that are not needed.
The quantity Of seed required per
acre varies with the size of the bean.
The small pea beans require only half
bushel per acre, while the kidney beans
require from bushel to six pecks per
acre, usually with rows 80 inches apart,
bushel of kidney beans will seed an
acre.
The depth of planting varies with the
soil. In clays and clay loans, II inches
deep is about right, while on lighter
soils they may be planted 2 inches deep.
The bean plant will require some COM
merciar fertilizer on most Delaware
soils. A mixture Analysing I-8 or 2-8 is
suggested Gin ordinary times 100 pounds
per acre of muriate of potash would also
be used). About 400 to 500 pounds per
acre should be sufficient. In the case of
home mixing, mixture containing so
pounds of nitrate Of soda, 100 pounds of
fish or tankage, and 400 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre is recommended.

SOUP BEANS NEW CROP

The Delaware farmer has been at
tracted by the high price of field beans
and many are seriously considering the
growing of this crop. The crop is
new one for most Delaware farmers
and doubtless many attempts to raise
field beans will result either in financial
loss or very low net return per acre.
The farmers of the State should not be-
come so stampeded by the lack Of food
products that they change from the
regular staple crop, which they are ac-
customed to grow, and plunge into rails
ing crops whose cultural requirements
they do not understand. Letters COM
ing to the Experiment Station from all
portions of the State show that the
Delaware farmer is wofully ignorant as
to the culture of field beans. With the
high cost Of seed and the uncertainty of
the crop, the Experimental Station
would advise all ''would-be" bean
growers to limit their maiden attempt
to small acreage until they have
learned the peculiarities of the crop.
Soy beans probably presents greater
possibilities for Delaware farmers than
does the field bean. Soy beans are now
being used for nearly all purposes to
which the dry shelled bean is adapted.
The field bean, while it thrives on
nearly all soils except heavy clays.
should be grown on soils that are fairly
well supplied with plant food and or
ganic matter. Bean fields should be
we'll drained. The sandy loan and clay
loan soils of Delaware, if well drained,
ought to produce good field beans. The
common rotations for beans in the Mich
igan and New York bean districts are
clover, beans, wheat or clover, pasture,
beans and wheat. Beans leave the land
in fine condition for the wheat crop. In
Delaware, beans could take the place
of corn in the rotation, or could follow
the first crop of corn where it has been
the custom to grow corn on the same
land two years in succession.
Field beans should not be planted I'M
til all danger of cold weather is past.
Late planted beans are usually more
free of certain diseases than early
planted ones. In this State, field beans
could safely be planted as late as July.
The time Of planting should be SO ar
ranged that the beans are ripe before
frost. The planting should be done in

PORK A BIG ROLE

Pork plays such big role in the feed
ing of the Allied armies, and so many
hogs must be raised in the future to
prevent pork shortage, that the Del
aware State Fair, September 3rd to 7th,
which has rendered it's services as a
"Food Training Camp" to the govern
ment, is offering unusually. large pre-
miums for pure-bred hogs of the COM
mon breeds.
Pork is kind of meat which can be
cured or canned very easily. This
causes it to be of great value as food
for soldiers, since it is very difficult to
make much use of fresh meat in the
feeding of an army. A pork shortage
would handicap the Allied commissary
greatly in keeping their forces furnish
ed with meat.
Pork, too, can be produced more
quickly and in larger quantities than
any other kind of meat. A pig six
months old should weigh from ITS to
200 pounds, four-fifth of which is edible
meat. A SOW should raise five or six
pigs twice year, and two filters of
pigs should produce nearly a ton Of
pork. No other farm animal can do as
well.
On farm which is properly managed
pork can be produced without the use
of much grain or corn, which is needed
so badly in other forms of food at
present. Grain is not needed to any
extent until few weeks before the
pigs are sent to market. Pigs will do
we'll on pasture land or forage crops.
There is so much interest in hog pro-
duction in this territory that it is be-
lieved many huaf1reds of animals exhi
bited at the coming fair will be pur-
chased at private sale by farmers who
wish to raise better hogs. The fair is
encouraging this practice in every way
possible.
