crops yield the heavier.
A final narrowing may be given just
before the seed comes up. Level cult

ing. The bean is shallow-rooted
plant, hence care should be exercised
to avoid injury by cultivating deep
near the plant. Following the appear
ance of the blossoms, and after the
vines begin to run, cultivation should
be done ut less frequent intervals, ex-
cept in case of severe drought. This
has tendency to check vine growth
and to encourage seed production.
Beans should not be cultivated when
the foliage is wet because 1t has q
tendency to encourage anthracnOse. A
one-horse cultivator or two-row truck
crop cultivator are excellent tools for
this work. A surface corn cultivator
can also be adjusted to this purpose.
The crop should be harvested as
soon as the pods mature and before
they begin to shell. On a field basis a
cutting tool is required. A special bean
harvester can be secured or surface

work by removing the two inside
blades and the rakes. Set the two out

side point just touching so as to shave
the plants off at the surface of the
ground. Growers report the use Of an
ordinary pillow with long shear and
the mold board removed for cutting
the vines. On small patches the vines
may be pulled by hand.
The pulled beans, while still damp,
are forked into small piles or they may
be punched with side-delivery rake.
The piles should not be over PA feet In
diameter, and to feet In height. II
the shocks get wet, they should be
opened and turned as one would hay.
As soon as the shocks become fairly
dry, the crop may be stacked under
shelter or threshed. The threshing
should not be done until the beans be-
come bone dry.
The vines, which have gone through
a sweat and are properly cured, have q
tougher seed, and heEce there is less
damage from split beans in threshing.
A grain separator may be used for
threshing beans. Take out oil but one
row Of concave teeth and alternate
rows Of the cylinder teeth. The beans
should not pass back over the cylinder
a second time. The machine should be
operated at low speed, from 300 to 400
revolutions per minute. A limited acre
age can be threshed with q fail or beat
out with a stick. In this way, there
is very little loss and at the present
high prices hand cleaning can be done
at q profit, as a winter job.

America to get its mind off the hor-

The small-seeded type of navy called
the pea bean is in greatest demand.
An increased acreage of beans will
be an important contribution to the ma
TONS food supply. But to make this
increased acreage most prolific, we
must standardize our varieties. Plant
only the navy bean, preferably the
small pea variety. This will assist the
grower In finding market for his sur
plus. Buy seed from reliable seed deal
ers If possible. Should this supply be
exhausted, the beans sold at stores for
cooking purposes can be drawn upon.
First buy small amount, or secure a
sample for termination. Test between
blotters, and If the test shows IS per
cent termination or better they will be
safe.
A sandy loan Is best for beans. In
many places the soil may be too fertile,
causing Overluxuriant growth Of vines
so that the plants bloom but jsparingly
and but little seed sets. Bottom lands
are not adapted to bean growing for
this reason, and also because of dis
eases, some of which are more preva-
lent under conditions where heavy
dews and lack Of air drainage are
found, rs on such lands. For this rea-
son location Is to be preferred where
there Is good air drainage. Newly
turned sod may be used for beans with
good results. Such land is apt to be a
little dry, which tends to check vine
growth. Land which Is somewhat i'm
poverished Is better than rich soil.
The land should be prepared in the
spring, because If this is deferred I'M
til planting time much Of the moisture
which should be conserved for the sum-
mer period will have been lost by evap-
grafton or used by weeds. The seed
bed should be prepared after blowing
with the harrow. This will kill the
young weeds and conserve the mois-
ture. In this way much of the weed
fighting can be done before the crop Is
planted. From 10 to 20 quarts of pea
beans are required per acre. Larger

from the quantities named, to one
bushel per acre, according to size.
The bean is distinctly a warm-season
crop and should not be planted until
the soil becomes thoroughly warmed.
If planted too early the seed Is likely
to rot in cold soil and will not germi-
nate uniformly, making uneven ripen-
ing. The vine growth is more likely to
be excessive than when planted later
and checked by the hot, dry weather.
Generally speaking, the first half of
I June is ample time for planting shell
beans, and In several instances fair
yields have been secured from plant
ings made as late as the first of July.
The limitation on late planting Is the
ability Of the crop to mature before
frost and unsettled weather for har-
vesting.
Unlike most plants, the bean brings
its seed leaves to the surface when
terminating. If planted too deeply,
this Is made difficult. On the other
hand, crop planted shallow may suf-
fer from moisture. From IN to 2
inches is a good average depth. For a
small acreage hand drill Is satisfac-
tory. the rows being commonly spaced
