Excerpt from Field Beans Pea, bushels; Medium or Navy, bushels; andmarrowfat, bushels. For this experiment the seed of these beans was produced on the College farm throughout the entire period, there being no introduction of fresh seed in any one year from an outside source. The highest yield per acre of the Small White Pea bean was produced in the year 1900, and of the Medium a 10 Marrowfat varieties in 1910. The results show that the yields have been as satisfactory during the latter part as they were in the earlier stages of the twenty year test. It will, therefore, be seen that field beans may be grown on the same farm for a long period of time without a change of seed from one farm to another if proper care is exercised in the selection of seed and in the cultivation of the crops from year to year.
