Farmers are busy in •their bean fields pulling and thresh- ing their beans. The bean crop e, Correspondent is disappointing for the farmers and will perhaps go on record for the poorest crop in years past. The wet summer was perhaps the greater cause for it for many fields of beans were under water for some time, kill- ing the plants. The harvesting of the bean crop could cause more worry for the farmers for already it is late in the season. Any time when least expected a frost and rain could do much damage to the late crop. In all, perhaps farmers can count on only a light crop which could cause an advancement in price .that in a way would help the farmers. Growing beans is a blind chance every year taken by farmers, some are lucky while many more are hit in some way. Therefore farmers cannot put to much trust in bean growing especially to carry on. 0 Crop Report The recent showers have been very helpful for the uniform germination of winter wheat. As well, fall plowing is now somewhat easier in most parts of Huron County. Frost damage is apparent on corn and beans in some areas. The white bean harvest was held up temporarily during the wet weather but quality of the beans pulled before the rains should not be particularly af- fected.
