The results obtained from July i)lantings were not so satisfac- tory, damage by grasshoppers and rabbits materially diminishing yields. The Dwarf Valentine variety, yielding 660 pounds of beans and 528 pounds of straw per acre, gave best results. One plot of White teparies seeded at the rate of eight ])()un(ls per acre produced 612 j)ounds of beans and 576 pounds of straw per acre, and a plot of Trammell yielded 500 pounds of beans. plots of White teparies were planted July 17 and 18 at varying rates, and consequent yields indicate the desirability of thin seeding. The better yield from the plot seeded in thirty-six inch rows at the rate of eight pounds per acre is partly due to more fa- vorable soil and moisture conditions. Twenty-one varieties uf beans were tested in 1915. Most of.
