WALTER C. PRIDHAM Goderich - Ontario C:� BEANSIIS THE CROP. GREAT MQNEY BEING MADE OUT OF THEM 1N SOUTH HURON. Acreage This Year Will[Ige Increased. though Warning Is Given Ajainst Depending Too Much on the One Crop Cattle Are Scarcer and Thomas McMillan Predicts "Meat- less Days" in Canada. ' A 'gaff correspondent of The has been in the southern part o county writing up crap conditions the following letter appeared tit day's Globe : Exeter, Ont., May 10.—The e clonal development of the bean -g ing industry is the outstanding t of agricultural activity in the co of Huron at the present time. H had a beau crop wcrth a million Ian last seasoti. The 1016 crop twice ns hig as the crop of the pre year. This year rte bean -growers planning for a crop that will net t nearly two million doltrars. acreage devoted to beao•$;owin the Hensel district is being dou and in tb. Exeter district it is trebled. (liven favorable wee Huron's bean crop in 1917 wil equivalent in value to the 1914 crop of thaenUrw Province. Hut is partly due to the sharp rise in pr brought about by the great dem for beans required to feed the al armies. More Beans crown. The Globe correspondent had an tervirw with Mr. Norman E. Cook Cook Brothers, Heiman. who is po tarty known in these parte as ' beau king of Huron county." Cook paid out last year no less $000,000 to the farmers of the Hens* Zurich -Exeter district for beans. 1 acreage devoted to hean-growing the Hens/ill district this year. he ea will he double what it was last ye while about Exeter, according to J. G. Jones of Jones & Msy, Exe the farmers will grow three times many beans as they grew in 1916. a Cook estimated that the area sown beans this year would be about eig sen thousand acres. The ave yield is sixteen bushels to the ac though some farms last year produ as much as twenty bushels to acre. Sixteen bushels per acre mea 280.000 bushels of beans on eight,.. thousand acres, and at $6 per bush,. which is the probable price, the 19 crop will be worth nearly one an three-quarter million dollars. That twice as much as Huron's wheat cr realized in 1915, a fairly good year f \ wheat. Mr, Cook told The Glohe the ,Mr. J. 1. Merrier, M. P., of Zuric raised $10,000 .worth of beans on one hgndred acres of land last year, and the, this year lie is putting in two hundred acres of beans, while quite a number of the farmers are devoting one hundred acres to beans this year. Seed Bete Pncea Farmers' are now offering $8.511 to $9 per bushel for seed beans, which are exceedinglyy scarce. A few would- be growers wi1J not be ante to get what they require, Out thedt(Sijority have already procured all the seed they need. Last year the lo*est price paid was $5 per bushel, at the commencement ot the threshing ; a wnnth later heavy buying, due to war ordeis from Great Britain, through Canadian organize tions, advanced bids to andq the bulk of the crop was mark At 'bat figure. Scme of the farmers ad nine hundred bushels and got ove $5,000 for their crop. The value or th beans rained last season was greater ban the value of the land upon which ey were raised, a good term of one h dred acres. with improvemebts, buil ingot, etc.. being worth from $8,1100 to $10,000. Mortgagee have been wiped out and the farmers are now buying automobiles. for it in only in the last few years that they learned *hitt a wonderful bean -growing section they have in the farms bordering on Lake Huron in the townships of Hay, Stephen and Stanley. Less Wheat, More Beans. Prospects are for high prices this year. Large packing concerns are said to be guaranteeing over $5 per bushel for ail the beans that can be grown, whether the war continues or not.. It is stated that $2 per bushel would give the farmers a satisfactory margin ; indeed, the average price id for beans in Ontario during 1911, 912, and 1913 was $1.84 per bushel. Huron county farmers are growing 1 wheat and more beano, which are itreduced with very little extra labor, it is stated. Much of the work in connection with the industry is done with machinery. Mr. J. G. Jones of Messrs. Jones & May, Exeter, a leading merchant and a prominent Liberal and temperance worker in Huron county, was author- ity for the statement that the acreage devoted to he.in-growing arouni !te- eter would he trehled Ole year. He told of one man whose fall wheat and clover were winter -killed last year, ' and as a last remit he put in twenty scree of bean* in the month of June, alter the rainy season. From that twenty acres he made just $2.500. Mr. Jones is of the opinion. however, that the farmers of Huron "should not put all tie's eggs in one basket." He thinks thirty -fl ve acre. in beans should be plenty on a ltX1-acre farm. The bean crop fits into a rotation of farm crops admtrabl , according to Prof. Z,vftz of the Field Husbandry Department of the Ontario Agricul- tural College. '-i '. - Field Crops and Live Stock. Conditions regarding other field crops and live a ock are much the same in Hilton county as In other sections of Western Ontario.

The township appealed, and th second division of the Appellate Div Sion set Beide this order and direct the motion and action to set aside th conveyance to be tried together. Th trial took place at Stratford befor Mr. Justice Latchford, who toured i favurof the plaintiffs, quashed th bylaw, set aside the conveyance an directed Kruse to remove his building with costa to be paid by defendants. The township and Kruse appealed and their appeal was heard by the firs Appellate Division, which set acid that portion of Justice Latchford's judgment wbich quashed the whole bylrt of it which heldw but thatthe townned that ship p acted illegally in disposing of the street and making the conveyance to Kruse.

Rural Popt>latioe Still Declines—Urban Population ata Standstill. County Clerk Lane makes up each year a statement of the population of the county as based upon the returns of the municipal assessors. We give below the figures for theears 1891, 1915 and 1910, taken from Mr. Lane's statement, It shows that tbe popula- tion of the county is still deeressing being 49,701 in 1910 as compared with 49.913 in 1915. The rural population, which had shown *steady decline for many years, in 1913 regained shout 354) ; but last year the downward movement was again noticeable, there being a low of 587. Taking the county as a whole, the urban population remains about the same as it was twenty-five yeare ago, and last year there was an increaseof 355 over 1015. Examining the figures in detail, however, it is Been that since 1891 there has been a general decline in the towns and villages with the ex- ception of Goderich and Wingham, which have both increased in popula- tion.
