STEM-ROT OF BEANS. 



I am sending you by mail a small 

 box containing some soil and a few 

 beans. Please notice the stems on the 

 beans; they seem to have stem-rot. 

 Will you please tell me what the 

 trouble is and how to remedy it? 

 Please let me know, also, what is wrong 

 with the soil. I grew a good crop of 

 beans on this soil several times, but 

 this year the beans have all acted like 

 the sample sent you. J. M. T. 



The beans are affected with a kind 

 of stem-rot which is quite common in 

 some localities. I would advise you 

 not to grow beans on that same spot 

 again for at least two years. Use the 

 ground for some other crop next sea- 

 son and starve out the bean disease. 



If you have had beans on the same 

 soil for several seasons it should be 

 rich in nitrogen now, but badly in need 

 of potash and phosphoric acid. I 

 would suggest that you use about 400 

 pounds of sulphate or muriate of pot- 

 ash and 800 pounds of acid phosphate 

 per acre early next spring. Sow it 

 broadcast after plowing and drag it in 

 well. If you plow this fall, apply the 

 fertilizer then and the results will be 

 still better. Another similar dose 

 might be used next year, but a heavy 

 manuring then would be preferable 

 and would put your soil in good con- 

 dition for beans or almost anything 

 else. 



You might get a good crop of beans 

 again next season if you were to plant 

 them again, but it would be rather 

 risky after having a diseased crop 

 now. A good, liberal dusting of air- 

 slaked lime before you plow it again 

 would also do much good. H. G.
