Quoted notes by Mr, Winn. 



" The white beans are the ones that are generally raised. In the cultivation 

 of the beans they are generally planted in rows about 2 feet apart, sometimes 

 a little wider, and are well fertilized. Needless to say the weeds are kept 

 down by hand hoeing three or four times during the summer. The beans are 

 planted here in May or early in June and harvested in November as a rule, 

 though even in October we occasionally see the harvesting of the beans in 

 specially well-favored places. The harvesting is entirely done by hand (as 

 all farm work except plowing) after which the beans are carried to the 

 thrashing floor, where they are thoroughly dried in the sun and thrashed by 

 the flail.*'
