ties, before the seeds are planted set 6 to 8-foot poles firmly in the center of the hills 3 feet apart in 4-foot rows. 
Cover the beans 14% inches deep; cultivate only when the vines are dry. One pound of the large seeded varieties 
plants 60 hills; 60 pounds to the acre. One pound of the small seeded varieties plants 100 hills; 30 pounds to the acre.
