SELECTING BEAN AND
PEA SEED IN AUTUMN
Choose Plants Alike in VarietaI
Character and EarIinesS.
When Plants Have Fully Ripened
Avoid Shatterlnu In Pulling and
Hang In Airy, Dry Place Un.
I'll Seed Is Quite Hard.

Prepared by the United States DepGat-
ment Of Agriculture.
The best seed Of beans and peas is
to be obtained by marking few OF
the finest plants with bit Of cloth
ut the beginning OF the harvesting
season and allowing the crop Of these
plants to ripen completely say ex-
perts of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
In making such selections 1t is best
to choose plants alike In varietal char.
acter and earliness. When ripened
until dry, pull these plants in the
early morning, In order to avoid shat
terng, and hang or spread them In
an airy, dry place until the seed Is
quite hard. Then shell the seed,
spread 1t out not over two or three
grains deep, and when thoroughly dry,
store 1t for the winter In bags of
coarse open-meshed fabric hung In
cool, dry place.
Pods which for any reason have
been overlooked when picking beans
or peas for the table should be saved,
since they can be shelled for seed,
though inferior to the selected stock
described above. In saving seed from
remnant crops of this kind Il Is well
to discard all pods containing only one
or two seeds, as these may have come
from plants with tendency to pro.
duce poorly filed pods.
Some very destructive bean dis
eases, including pod.spot, are carried
In the seed; so it is extremely Inn
portant to observe the general rule
that no seed should be saved from dis
eased plants when saving beans for
seed Never save seed from pods
which are not bright and clean.
