winter in rubbish or broken stems of weeds or 

 plants, therefore all this rubbish should be burned 

 as a precaution. 



Bean anthracnose can be avoided by a careful 

 selection of seed. If seed are saved only from 

 perfectly healthy pods, which have no spots what- 

 ever on them, shelled by hand and put away 

 carefully to avoid reinfection, in all probability 

 a good crop will be produced. 



To get rid of bean blight, pull up and burn all 

 diseased plants. This is very difficult to control 

 when it has once made headway. 



Never plant beans on land which has grown 

 beans the previous season. Plant another vege- 

 table there instead. It will be safe to go back to 

 that location the year following. 



All fungus diseases should be sprayed with 

 Bordeaux mixture. 



Land that is badly infested with white grubs 

 should not be plowed until late in the season, and 

 no corn, strawberries or potatoes should be planted 

 to feed them. A rotation of vegetables will be 

 helpful in ridding the land of them.
