CULTURE. To obtain a continuous 
supply of beans throughout the sea- 
son, make plantings every two weeks 
from about May 10th to July Ist. 
Beans should be planted in rows 15 to 
18 inches apart, thinning in the row 
to 3 or 4 inches apart. Do not eulti- 
vate or pick beans when plants are 
moist from dew or rain as this causes 
the spread of rust or Anthracnose, 
thereby curtailing the production. 
Plant about 1 to 2 inches deep depend- 
ing upon the condition of the soil.
