crop at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station in 1917, both as to yield and
food qualities. They required too
much hand labor, however, especially

profitable as a field crop.
The Station tested pinto beans
this year on several kinds of soil and
by various methods of planting. The
yields are given below in pounds of
grain per acre.
The first four experiments were on
upland where wheat had failed.
