THURSDAY, JULV ii &
BEANS BOUGHT
BY GOVERNMENT
Macon Farmers Dispose
Of 7,074 Bushels In
Ten Days
For the past several years the
acreage planted to green beans for
the 'market and for canning has
steadily increased. Green beans
have afforded the farmers a quick
cah crop at an average price-that
allowed the fanner a profit, above
actual expenses. ,
This year rain prolonged the
growing season in the extreme
.Southern states thus allowing the
beans from, these states to remain
on the markets longer than pre
vious years. The favorable grow
ing , season throughout the bean
producing sections caused the yield
of beans to be exceptionally good.
Due to the fact that there has
been no market for these beans
fanners asked the assistance of the
county agent's office to. help dis
pose of their crop.
Authorities, at Raleigh were con
tacted to see if it was possible for
the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corporation to purchase beans in
this area. The Extension Service
at Raleigh got in touch with F. S.
C . Ci at Washington, who in turn

that the object of his organization

the hopes that a better, price could ,
be secured tor the remaining crop
iThe irsj retrigerator car was plac
ed in Franklin at noon Saturday,
July 9. Cars were loaded through
July 19. Nine cars of beans and
one car of Gabbage were loaded.
A total of 7,074 bushels of beans
and 38,994 pounds of cabbage were
purchased and shipped to other
points for distribution.
The service rendered by the F. S.
C. C. was greatly appreciated by
the farmers of the county and it
is hoped that the late crop of
beans will bring a better price, due
to the majority of the surplus be
ing removed from the market.

Lottie Henckel, of Atlanta, were
