In the past, most of the dry

White beans an ° �yellow
eyes are . handled t'hrough'the
Ontario. Bean Producers''Mar-
keting . Board, while kidneys,
cranberries and. pintos: are grown
under contract to dealers. Of the
eontratt bean types, the light red
$; kidney bean has shown, the larg-
est acreage increase, particular-
,° ly in Kent County where the
growing season is long enough to
t .
. mature the crop with early June
pl ntings and yields are often
,hi her than those obtained from
:white beans
Kidneys are too much of a risk
• in Huron County - because_ of the
chance of frost before maturity
and no yield . advantage over
white beans (Table 1).
During the past several years,
there has been an increasing in-
terest in the production of special
dry bean types for export mar-
kets and a limited domestic mar-
ket. The Azuki bean is a prime"
example. In 1972 a limited acre-
age was grown in Ontario for the
Japanese market on a contract
basis. Azukis are adapted to
areas with greater than 3100 heat
units. We have not been able to
Mature them at Iippen (Tazle 1).
• Research has been conducted
With other bean types (see Table

cultritaI Technology has grown
faba beans and'found they could
not compare in yield to soybeans.
The us* hot and dry conditions
off' the' Ridgetown area are not
very 'suitable. for the beans as
they wilt and the seed fails' to set:
It has been found ' that faba
beans . grow in a cool and moist
climate' and are probably suit-
able,, to areas of less than 2,800
heat\units

Lawrence Markusse, Prospect
Farms, Wyoming, Ont. "In 1972,
I Used Niagara Furadan on 8.00
acres of corn and took off the
best crop ever. No problem with
rootwormarlymore. I wouldn't
grow a con► crop without ,
Niagara Furadan."
Vern Alderdice, Kippen, Ona
"I've used Niagara Furadan on
part of my corn acreage for the
past three years. Increased yield
andfnsect control have
convinced me to use Niagara
Furadan on my entire acreage

G. E. Jones, Fieseatch Director,

Furadan, developed in 1962 and Introduced in 1970, is a
research disceveryof Niagara Chensicals. Field and laboratory
testing has shown remarkable increases in corn yield with one
application of Niagara Furadan 100.
The systemic action of Niagara Furadan 100 applied at
seeding completely controls corn rootworm.
Controlled field tests indicate yield increases of up to 16%
and more and up to 200% net profit return on your Furadan
investment.*
Prove it to yourself ... Furadan does not carry over so
there is no worry about pesticide residUe. There's never been
a pesticide like it before. Furadan 100 for cora is one of '
Niagara'% most si0riificeitt dittcoveries.

prising when one considers that
most of'the growers had no pre-
vious •experience with. the crop.
Yields ranged .from' 3,000 pounds
per acre toas low as 2,000•to 2,500
pounds per facte in; areas where
weeds and other problems arose.

sown. to 7 -inch rows produced
yields up to 4,800 pounds per acre
and over 1,600 pounds of crude

rows produced 2,900 pounds per.
acre and yielded '900: pounds of
crude protein. The crude protein
content of all varieties ran from
33• to 37 per cent with an average
slightly over 35 per cent.`
Bgb Misener, leader of the
Kemptville project believes that
a grower could aim for about 65
bushels per acre (60 lbs. per bu.)
as an average yield. When com-
pared to the University of Mani-
toba faba bean tests, which
yielded approximately 42 bushels
per acre, the Kemptville results'
are most -encouraging and fur-
ther research is planned for 1973.
What's a Tangelo? It's a sub-
tropical citrus fruit that's a cross
between a tangerine and a grape-
fruit. It is about the site of an
orange and very sweet and juicy.
If you're not familiar with them,
give them a try, for they are deli-
cious.They're ideal for hand -eat- ,
ing or use in salads and fruit'
cups, and they make marvelous
marmalade.

Also the Berna golden brown
bean looks ' promising from ' a
yield standpoint. Its seed is
,brownin colour and' is similar to
the cranberry bean in seed size.
Other bean types such as Lime-
light (a bean type whose seed is
similar to the baby lima) and the
Great Northern (a white kidney)
are not as hardy as white beans
with respect to bronzing and root
rot. Similarly the dark red kidney
and the small red kidney are not
as hardy as the light red kidney
type thatis presently grown in
Ontario.
Certain bean types have been
evaluated that are not adapted to
Ontario because of maturity,
