Beans should be planted in the
open for the best results. Delay their
planting until sure the last frost has
passed. Plant in rows one foot apart
and place the seed two inches deep
1t intervals of six inches. The soil
must be kept loose and free from
weeds.
Beets require longer season for
maturing than beans, radishes or

Is nothing worse than to be stunned

community that has made good will
feel just exactly about II as does the
