Huron Bean Crop
Takes A Licking
From Weatherman
Huron, County's very substantial
crop of beans has .been all but ruined
by the very unfavorable weather
which has prevailed during the past
few. weeks.
Coming at a critical time, 'heavy
rainfalls have done tremendous
damage, especially in the area south
of Ceinton, but bean growers all $Der
the county have been similarly af-
fected. e
,"It would be impossible even to
make a guess at the extent of the
damage," F. K. B. Stewart, Clinton,
agricultural representative for Huron
County, stated to the NEWS-
RECORD. "It is very heavy, how-
ever. The worst feature is that what-
ever beans are harvested will grade
down very low, with {t resultant de-
cline in revenue. It has been a try-
ing time for many of the farmers
of Huron County."
Mr. Stewart said• that the heavy.
rains had had a.,bad effect on other
crops, such as tomatoes and. vege-
tables, and also some pastures.
Over Four Inches of Rain
What is your guess regarding the
amount of rain which actually fell
during September? Answers to this
question have ranged all the way from
three to six inches. The correct an-
swer is 4.03 inches, from information
supplied by George.Baird, Sr., official
weatherman for Clinton 'district.
Rainfall during the first two days
of October totaled 1.66 inches, so that
this month is off to a flering start.
The weather was cool and dry today,
however, with ,the sun shining
brig/Wye-1 w .
How Cold Was It?
The first snow of the season fell
for a short period between eight and
nine o'clock in Clinton, Tuesday evert-
ing. It was not very heavy, and
disappeared fox the most part, before
it"got g t as far is the ground: i%waver,
the lowest temperature officially re-
corded for Tuesday, was 42 degrees.
