We would not feel that we had
"done our bit" if we fail to keep
on calling attention to the pos

so that it can be taken to market
in a buggy. When the warmed
air is made to circulate properly
through the wooden driers we
recently described, fruit may be
cured in from two and one-half

the kind of fruit or vegetable. 1

Beans As Cheap Food Crops.
Beans are highly nutritious and
palatable, and they keep well.
Naturally the demand for them
increases during a time of war.
The indications are that the farm
er can now afford to grow an in
creased area of beans and that
the home gardener will do well
to include them in his planting.
While beans produce quite well
on soil low in fertility, especially
in nitrogen, they respond as prof
itable as grain crops to good soil.
Generally speaking, soils which
will produce good crops of corn
will also produce good crops of
beans.
Beans should be sown in rows
twenty-eight to thirty inches
apart, one and one-half to two
inches deep and three to five
inches apart in the row. It plant
ing is done on a large scale, a
special bean planter is used.
Many growers use an ordinary
grain drill, stopping certain tubes
so that the rows will be the de
sired distance apart. A 'corn
planter provided with special
bean plates may be used. For a
small area any ordinary grain
seeder is satisfactory.
There are four distinct types of
field beans: Pea, Medium, Mar
row and Kidney. The Navy
bean, which is of the pea type,
is the most popular as well as the
easiest variety to grow. It is
hardy, early-maturing, produc
tive and will do fairly well on
poor soil.
The Red Kidney and Yellow
Eye are popular on the market,
but do best on soil high in fertili
ty. This year, on account of the
great scarcity of seed it may be
desirable to plant any good va
riety that is available.
Field beans are especially
adapted to the home garden, not
only because they are com para
tively easy to grow, but also be
cause they yield well and adapt
themselves to drying. Dried
be ins can be stored for winter
use.
- Since beans are very suscepti
ble to frost it is not best to plant
until danger of frost is past and
conditions are favorable for quick
germination and rapid growth
In general, do not plant much
earlier than May 20 nor later
than July 1.
Write to the agricultural exten
sion department, Pennsylvania
State College, for methods of
drying these and other vegeta
bles and fruits.
