Beans thrive best on well-dr}m-; acre » An acre of beans produces from to 80 bushels of dried beans. Beans are being contracted for $8 to $9 a bushel. j An acre of beans, yielding 28 bushels, produces as much heat and energyâ€"producing food as an acre of wheat yiekding 20 bushels. A 28â€" bushelâ€"toâ€"theâ€"acre crop of beans proâ€" duces over 2% times as much fleshâ€" producing food as a 20â€"bushelâ€"toâ€"theâ€" acre crop of wheat. Crop reports indicate what may amount to a desperate shortage in food next winter. _ What this counâ€" try needs more than anything else is high food value crops in as small bulk as possible; foor that wl&l keep; food of minimum bulk which can be readily stored and shipped. # ‘ In Southern Ontario, the very late variety, Blue Stem, gives good results.

Spring Wheat.â€"Red Fife and White Fife are good standard sorts but rathâ€" #r late in ripening in northern localities . All the varieties mentioned are good for breadâ€"making, but Huron is not equal in this respect to the others. It is, however, particularly vigorous and productive and is highly recommended. In extreme northern districts, Preâ€" lude will be found valuable if the soil Beans Contain a Large Amount of Protein and Their Food Value Is Therefore High. Huron, Marquis and Early Red Fife are earlier in ripening. Other very good sorts, almost or quite equal to those mentioned, could have been added to the list, but it apâ€" pears undczsivrable to recommend an unnecessarily â€" large number â€" of varieties . The varieties here recommended have been thoroughly tested and have ghown excellent _ qualities.
