Bean Growing in Garrett County.

The climate of Garrett county being
very much like that of northern New
York, where navy beans are quite sue
cessfuly grown. it would seem that as
far as climate is concerned beans would
grow well in Garrett county.
Some trials made at Oakland and in
other parts of the county last year
showed that several varieties of navy
and kidney beans could be proftably
grown. Some of the best varieties of
these were the Boston Pea, the White
Wonder and the Red Kidney. These
are three good varieties and represent
the small white soup bean. the larger
white and red kidney for baking. The
growing season was so short that the
Bush Limas did not mature.
The soil for beans does not need to be
very rich and for this reason some of
the poorer hillsides can be used for this
crop. There is every reason to expect
good results, if large patches are plant
ed, but if this is not desirable a small
patch should be planted by every farm
er.
If there are more grown than are
needed for home consumption they can
be readily sold or traded for groceries
at the store. There is at present quite
large demand for the dried beans as
they can be easily handled and shipped
for soldiers and sailors use.
Beans are usually planted in rows
wide enough apart for horse cultivation.
It requires from two to three pecks of
seed to plant an acre, and they will
produc anywhere from five to twenty

inspiring music. Misses Lille and Mary
Friend sang duet.
Rev. and Mrs. Fallen were present
to encourage the work, and in their
talks commended the Young people for
the great interest manifested IN the
work so lately begun. Mrs. Fallen
spoke especially of the Home Mission

young members of the cabinet helpful
instructions concerning the work of the
different departments and called reg
