Western Oregon Field Beans

Beans are adapted to rather wide
variety of soils. They are grown on sew
eral soil types, varying from some of
the rather poor white lands through to
some of the richest and most free
working of the mellow. sandy river
bottom lands. They have been grown
with fair success on white land on the
ordinary loan of the valley and to
some extent on the hill land but the
largest yields have been secured on
the mellow, fine sandy loans of the
/ river bottom. The soil for beans should
be rather warm.

sible and worked down to fine and
fairly firm seed bed. The beans arc

warmed up well. In some of the warm
valleys of Southern Oregon they may
| be planted as early as April 20 to
May L. In most of the Willamette val
/ ley regions, the planting should be de-
layed until May ! to TO- They are
planted at n depth of one to two inches
under average conditions, Deeper plant
ing is undesirable.
Beans must be given good cultiva-
tion from the time they come up until
they reach the bloom period, at which
time they are usually laid by. When
the pods have reached maturity and be-
gin to turn yellow, the beans are har-
vested with bean harvester or are
sometimes pulled by hand. They are
cured in small piles or windrows and
as soon as dry enough are cooked up
in rather large cocks from which they
are hauled to the barn or are threshed.
Great care should be taken to har-
vest them as promptly as possible after
thew reach maturity in order to avoid
shattering, also to cure them as rapid
ly as possible, and get them under Gov
er in order to avoid having them rain
ed upon and spoiled.
Beans are threshed best with bean
hreshcr. They may also be threshed
by beating them out with a fail or by
spreading them on the floor and tramp
ing out with horses or other stock, af-
ter which they are shaken out of the
straw with forks and cleaned in far
ming mill. If many diseoored beans
are present they must be hand sorted.
Care must be taken not to split the
beans.
Yields of beans vary all the wav
from 750 pounds per acre up to, i'll
some eases, over 2000 pounds per acre.
The best varieties are the Lady
Washington and Mexican Wonder.
Both of these beans mature rather early
end uniformly. The little Navy is some
times grown but is inclined to be lit
tie late. The Red Mexican is another
very popular bean under Northwestern
conditions and where good early
strain may be secured it is a desirable
/ type to grow.
