THRESHINC AND
HAIR STING BEANS

Many who have raised large crops of
beans this year are asking how to har-
vest and thresh them The following
suggestions by Prof. T. M. Mccall of
the Northwest Experiment Station will
be Of interest to many.
Time to harvest: When about half
the foliage is dead. In the morning
while the dew is still on or on a cloudy
day as the pods are tougher then and
will not shatter 50 much.
How to harvest: In some garden
plots by pulling up plants by hand. In
field lots by use OF a regular bean har-
vester which cuts vines just below sur
face and piles them in windows.
Blade surface cultivators will serve IL
rows are less than 20 inches apart.
The moving machine is not salts
factory implement because seed is
shattered excessively and the soil is
hard on cutter bar IL moving
machine is used, windrowing at
tachment must be attached to cutter
bar.
How to shock When wet with rain
or dew, pile In small shocks to cure and
dry. II beans become wet In shock
turn or spread to dry. False bottoms
of straw are serviceable for large
shocks in keeping beans of soil and
promoting even curing. 5..5
How to thresh: When cured, thresh
at once or pile In dry barn or shed for
later threshing. Regular bean thresh-
ers may be had in sizes convenient for
varying needs. Small machines about
the size of a tanning mill with a cap
sacity Of u to II bushels per hour are
not expensive. II a regular thresher is
used, the speed Of the cylinder must be
very materially reduced and concaye
teeth removed to form none to six rows
depending on speed of cylinder. The
rest Of the machine should be run at
normal speed. Ordinary threshing ma
chimes without adjustments, will split
from 80 to 40 per cent of beans, loss
greater than additional cost Of hand
threshing.
Split beans and bean straw are val
liable protein feed for stock.
Beans should be cleaned, picked and
graded before being placed on the
market. 4
