a ® is over. Of bush beans use 1 quart to 275 feet of 
drill; 144 bushels to acre. Of pole beans use 1 quart to 200 hills; 10 to 16 quarts per acre. Cover bush 
beans 2 inches; pole beans 1 inch. Sow bush beans in drills 2 to 4 feet apart; pole beans in hills 4 feet 
each way. Good corn land is also in good condition for growing a crop of beans. Limas delight in 
soil that is made very rich by liberal manuring, especially with rotted stable manure.
