(irowers Say This Has Been Un
favorable Year
BULK OF CROP HAS BEEN SAVED
Many Varieties Ripened Very L'neyea
Owlnr to Lack of Moisture
This year has seen more acreage
in beans- perhaps twenty times
the acreage than any season
since beans were raised in Wash
ington County. The dry Sum
mer did not give the crop the
support it should have had, and
as a consequence the yield is
fully fifty per cent, short.
The navy bean appears to have
been the best producer, and those
who have put in the small whites
have had no reason to rue their
choice of variety.
Bean threshing has been the
vogue for two weeks and the
most of the growers have com
pleted their harvest
A dry June with July and
August without moisture was the
condition that meant lack of
growth, and many growers found
fully ripe pods and green ones
divided about equally even at the
latest Some fields ripened even
ly, but these were few and far
between.
Growers say that as a rule the
county produces a fine bean yield
and the failure of this year will
not deter many from trying the
game another year.

Saturday afternoon, bept 29, a
quiet wedding was solemnized at
the home of Dr- and Mrs. H. B.
Morrison, when Miss Anne Con
