well off the ground, their vigorous and hardy nature making 
them immune from rust, mildew or blight.

AIDS IN PREVENTION OF 
BEAN SPOT | 
Bean Spot or Anthracnose is a disease caused by the 
fungus colletotrichum lindemuthianum, which is carried 
in seed, soil and dead vines, from previous years’ crop. 
It is very rare or unknown in the semi-arid region of 
the West where our Bean seed is grown, and with this 
disease-free seed, the damage from spot may be reduced 
considerably by the customary methods of crop rotation, 
burning the refuse, destruction of weeds, and improving 
the air and soil drainage. 
For a successful crop, plant disease-free seed, and 
practice crop rotation, never planting Beans on land 
where the same crop grew the previous season; do not 
cultivate or walk through the Bean field or pick beans 
while wet with dew or rain. If the disease is present, 
it is then easily spread from one part of the field to 
another. Disease-free soil is just as essential as clean 
seed in the production of a crop free from spot.
