BEANS—Bush 
CULTURE—Beans are easily frost- 
killed^ so plant them at corn-planting 
time on light, dry land. Cold, wet 
weather will rot the seed in the ground 
and fresh manure causes a rank growth 
of vine with a lack of pods. If hand- 
cultivated beans can be drilled in poor 
soil as close as eighteen inches, but in 
rich soil with horse cultivation, thirty 
inches is required. Drill six beans to 
a foot and cover one inch deep, or 
plant four beans to the hill eighteen by 
twenty-four inches apart. One quart 
of seed should plant 200 feet and five 
pecks plant an acre. Plant every third 
week for a succession up till August 
1st, in the latitude of Sioux City. Pick 
beans before the bulge of seed appears 
and pick beans clean to continue the 
plants bearing. Give beans shallow 
cultivation and do not till the soil when 
the plant is in bloom or the plant in 
self-defense will drop its blossoms. To 
cultivate when wet is to invite rust.
