N.COUNTE Counters for Finer Jewellery for Over Half a Century in Huron County ,CLINTON, Huron Bean Crop Takes A Licking From Weatherman ONTARIO; 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 Clinton, but bean growers all /leer the county have been similarly af- ectetd. a . "i,would be impossible even to make a guess at the extent ofthe 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 it 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 andvege- 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 flying start. The weather was cool and dry today, however, with the . sun shining brightly e" een ,.:....nee,'. How Cold Was It? The first snow of the season fell for a short period between eight and nine o'clock in Clinton, Tuesday even.. ing. It was not very heavy, and disappeared for the most part, before it got as far is the ground.However, the lowest temperature officially re- corded for Tuesday, was 42 degrees (continued on page 8) 0 RED CROSS NOTES The 82nd meeting of Clinton Red Cross Society was held in the Board room Monday afterncom The presi- dent, Mrs. W.
