Combine
soybeans
in December
Combining soybeans on New Years Eve is
urailiketiy. but William Kuria of R. 6. Gooerich
was doing just that last week. when he
combined a remaining 10 aces of soybeans.
Actually the bans came up looking better
than one might think., said Kura.
It's unusual to have a green Christmas
followed by no snow right into the new year,
as we have had this year. Weather forecasts
call for snow flurries but no real accumu-
lation is expected this week. It could be a
late spring!

the western provinces including Alberta and
British Columbia and from as far away as

New Years holiday with their families. Local

Sentinel is full of news telling how our
friends and neighbours celebrated the
festive season.
