GARDEN BEANS 
Given moisture, this crop can be planted in 
the South in succession until the middle of 
August. - 
The bush varieties should be planted 1% 
inches deep in drills, 18 inches or 2 feet apart, 
2 inches apart in the drill. The pole variety 
should be planted two or three beans in a hill, 
2 feet apart each way. Give them clean cul- 
tivation, mellowing the soil between them, but 
not going too deep. Do not hoe them when wet 
from dew or rain, as this induces rust of leaves 
or pods. 
A pound will plant 100 feet of drill! 2 
bushels, or 120 lbs. to the acre in drills. For a 
larger yield of beans, use Nitragin.

POLE OR RUNNING 
| BEANS 
A word about Pole Beans. Many growers 
hesitate to plant pole beans because of the 
scarcity of poles. This objection is easily over- 
come and the greater profit in growing the 
pole varieties should be sufficient reason for 
going to a little extra care. Plaster laths will 
answer the purpose and cost very little.
