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 31) and some Of these look prdmis- ing if there are export markets ...rr-•r *born orn and'Ontariotooted �and :Pr oyn for gars under C ntar a conditions Tit( r different vari+ lea Covera. range of'Hea 3.49010 24500, and maturities kum 1.1 days tiaE�. from ' Wed r �omM �a� 'YOU � the :�c� �►r�,Ihrel► boot 'suited 1,0 your own. farm 10r, neXt Years, nYou' 11 be age, a# r tsar , strong : &ks, at Itad high, , .

A product of Niagara research 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.

This is not sur- prising when one considers that most of'the growers had no pre- vious •experience with. the crop.

Those seeds sown. to 7 -inch rows produced yields up to 4,800 pounds per acre and over 1,600 pounds of crude protein.Seeds sown to 14 -inch 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.

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.
