Set the poles about 4 feet apart each way and plant 4 to 6 beans, eye downward, around each pole. When plants are up, thin out to 3 plants to a pole. Pinch off the ends when plants overrun the top of the poles. It is well to use a shovelful of rich, light, well-rotted compost to each hill. One pound of seed will plant 75 to 100 hills. 115
