Growing String Beans
In the Willamette Valley
RECUPEOATIOf
BY R. W. GILL
One of the apparent needs of the
whole) Willamette valltr section
that of a greater rotatioa of crop.
At the present time thero is a tenden
cy to grow grain crops yoar after year
on in jame land. A. great many farm
era realize the importance of crop ro
tation and rotate from grain to elov
er ana tnen oack from clover to grain
Practically all authorities are airreec
- that a vegetable crop is necessary to
wing auout tne proper rotation and in
a great many cases potatoes and corn
nave been the crops used. A eood ro
tation to follow is from clover to ve-
olivine crop and then to gram. How
ever, one of the great difficulties iu
the way of following out this rotation
ha-3 beou the fact that there wag no
market for the vegetable crop on such
a large extent. This condition ia now
largely overcome 'by the fact that de
coroc known there will be an increase
contracting for large acrengo of va
rioug kinds of vegetables. Thego vce1
stable crops are not only a source of
fciuu mc. but offer a fine opportu
nity to build up soil fertility and thu
is especially truo where legume crop
are grown, 'ine bean is a legume plant
uu wm aaa greatly to the soil fcrtil
ity. Much has been said about the high
ijuauty of Oregon fruit, 'but there i
just as much to be said about the qiial
ity of the Oregon vegetable. Our cli
mane ana soil conditions produce.
liean of the highest quality and 1
doubt if there is any section of th
wnoie country which can produce
Wn of any more nutritive value than
that grown here.
It is only in recent years that much
attention has been paid to Oregon
string beans by the food factories, bul
once tho quality of this product be
comes iknown there will e an increas
ing demand for the Oregon beau.
MARKETS There are two market:!
for string beans, that of the dehydrat
ing plants an'l the canneries and ulna
that of the city market trade, .Regard
ing this city trade there is no staple
jirine, in fact the supply and demand
aw the factories that set the price and
while at times this i profitable to the
grower, at other tunes it does not jus
ttify marketing the product. In grow
ing beans for the' city trade, the grow
or vamiot plan on selling a large aero
age, but must limit his output in ac
cordance with the size of his market.
"While in the market offered by dehy
drating plants ami canneries, contractu
enn be entered into and the crop be
sold before the seed js plained, so in
this case tho grower is not taking any
ehancwi on tho galo of his pioduct. The
prices offered may not seem flo attract
ive a, that which is obtained at tunesi
on the city market, but when the great
er voluma of business is taken into
consideration the grower will be niucs
better off to handle a large aereagt
on a sure basis of sale; in fact most
farmer ara boo prone to consider tht
exceptional j-rioe on 8mall sales rathet
than a reasonable profit on a larsre out
put.
UrOOsilXO THE SOIL The hed
soil for growing beans is a warm welt
drained and mollow. loamr soil. A In.
cation should bo chosen that is free
from late frosts in the spring or early
frosts in the fall. Hetvr
wils arc aot desirable for
beang as their runtogefher conditio
win result in baking when exposed U
hot summer weather. Jt is important
to choose a soil that Jiolds nini&turd
good under proper cultivating mothods.
The previous crop planted upon tho
sou ia or great importance and a doV
Mai nasi cen planted to clover oi
vetcn will give ,the best rsult(t Prim-
cr drainage i also of great importance,
for tho bean is at home in a warm, fri
able soil.
PREPARATION' OF THE Hmir'
The best results in growing beans oi
m ract any vegetable crop can be ob
tnined by iplowinz the land twice. The
first plowing of the soil for -mu
should be made during March or April
and the second olowinir should he mniU
about one week previous to planting;
the seed. If the soil is very cloddy the
use of the disc will put it in much bet
tor condition for planting the seed
It is of the utmost importance that tho
soil be thoroughly prepared; for thf
proper preparation of tho soil is more
an naif the making of the cron and
0 matter how good attention in n-iven
o tho crop afterwards, if the propel
soil after packing rain, it should im-!

beans in hills and while thi8 method
ho-a gome advantages, especially in
hoeing, it does not eive an onrjortuni-
ty for each individual plant to devel
op. When planted an hills, usually
three or four plants are loft to grow,
while in the drill method, each -ulnnt
is usually -separated with onlv one in
a place. The hill method will probably
result in a longer season of picking;
but it, is my judgment, that the first
picking of the bean is by far the best,
uuui as regards quantity and quality.
Regarding the depth at which the see'd
should be planted, this is entirely de
pendent upon weather -conditions, but
generally sneaking, those which are
planted in enrly Muy should not be
over two inches in depth but -thoso
which are planted after the ground has
warmed up in June and July an be
planted oven as deep a3 three and a
half inches. Regarding the time of
planting, thU will- depend somewhat
upon tho acreage to be planted, for it
is not desirable to have too larfre a
tract com iii ir -on at one ; time, an it
miuht bo difffvult for the pickers to
keep up with the maturiusr cron. Thero
fore, in planting a ten acre tract it
would be well to make plantings up'
proximately as follows: 21j acres re
spectively about May 1(Mh, June 1st,
Juno 2fito, July Uttth. This will give a
harvesting season beginning about July
15th and extending up until time o
frost in tho fall. Wo ara cencrally safe
rrom rrost up to about the middle of
October, which would make a ninety
day season. Where it is desired to plant
two ocrcg er more in benn-s, it will pay
the grower to purcnflso a good soeil
drill and, while I have no preference
for one make over another, I . have
found tho Columbia and Acme drills
tho best suited for plantinz beans.
These machines a-e not expensive and
they save much labor and plant the
ncans just right as regards depth and
I distance and make the facilities for
proper cultivation.
(HMiTIVATlOtf As I have already
stAtoa, the main portion of the work
in producing a crop ot beans has al
ready been done in the proper prepa
ration of the soil. However, it is of
-great importance that the proper at
tention is given to cultivation of the
crop. The manner of cultivation is al
so dependent upon weather conditions.
In the case of the oarly plantings
when (lie weather is cold and back
ward, deep cultivation is essential, for
such cultivation has n .tendency to
