Only the earliest ripened beans have been ssvcd for seed each year and perhaps there hls been l. slight glin in the time required for mat- urity. Four years. however, can scarcely do more than "break the ground" for a species suited to our Isllnd season: and it will probably take eight or. ten years more to produce A sub-variety that is sure to ripen its seeds. Meantime I am more than satisfied that it is "on the way." -

I have laid stresson seed pm- duotion rather than on growing the plant for hay. The second year.

This must be prepared and thinly (underline that word) sprinkled on the seed, according to directions. before sowing. If the beans are wetted too much, the skin wrinkles and may burst.

If the beans are not inoculated, they are forced to withdraw nitro- gen from the soil. and thus do not benefit it: besides the crop is small-
