Stayton Area
Groics, Eats,
Talks Beans
By JEAN ROBERTS
Statesman News Service
STAYTON Stayton is the un
disputed bean growing center o:
Oregon. People here grow beans,
eat beans and talk beans.
Where . growers congregate
the conversation leans to "How
many tons per acre did yon
get?" When pickers meet it's
fHow many pounds did yea
pick today? - When cannery
workers rush madly together
it's ''What machine are yo
on?
The lowly bean is king in this
community with even education
bowing to its harvest. School has
been postponed for two weeks to
allow teachers and pupils to help
in the bean crop.
Bean picking Is so familiar
to Stayton merchants that at
least one grocery store each
year honors bean tickets. Tick
ets from any grower may be
exchanged for groceries.
Bean trucks shuttle up and
down the road. Absent this year
however, are the familiar bean
sacks. Most growers are trans
porting beans in the huge wood
en boxes that expedites unload
ing at the cannery. -.
The procession of1 beans never
ends. Tons of , beans unloaded at
one door of ' the cannery, are
stemmed, canned, cooked and
boxed, and emerge ready for the
grocery shelves fifteen minutes
later.
Cannery workers, mostly
women, spend the long hours
working en beans but thinking
ef everything else. Unable te
talk because of noise, their lips
can be seen moving as they
sing;, recite poetry and paint
air castles, to speed the time.
One woman said she dreamed
ef buying new clothes, but each
year finds her back at the can
nery In jeans.
Though beans require a lot of
moisture, their harvest is more
successful under controlled irri
gation, rather than natural rain-
