CAUTION ron
BEAN GROWERS
Should Select Healthy Seed Now for
Next Years Planting.

Every bean grower without delay
should take steps 10 secure good
seed for next years planting. either
from his own crop or from fields
which he knows Ia be- free from an
thracnosc and blight, the bean spec
illists advise.
The use uf good seed properly
.ripcned, plump, intact, and free from
disease Is essential for securing
large yields. II Is crop insurance
for growers to lay iu their seed
while there Is still opportunity to
inspect the fields ur they can pick
from the cream of commercial
stocks instead of having Ia take
whatever may be- available later.
Seed from carefully selected,
clean pods grown IN ones own plat,
of course. are safest. Once the
beans have been thrashed II is dinl-
cult to detect all which have come
from diseased pods,
