TELLS OTHER BOYS ABOUT GARDENS Have you ever heard anybody ' say that their ground was too poor to raise' beans? Their soil must , be very poor because beans will grow in most any kind of ground if it is not too shaded. ' 'Any boy can raise a patch of beans in his backyard if he digs up ' his soil, plants the beans and keeps ' the weeds out. - ' We have tried several kinds of ; beans but we think the Red Valentine is the easiest to grow. As soon as they are large enough to gather they should be picked every day. because if you don't they will become tough and not fit to eat. ; ' It is not too late yet to start aJt patch of beans and if you have any room In your backyard, why not ' try it?
