Cooperative Market Begins Successful] Season The Tri-County Cooperative Market began; its second season of opera- j tion on Monday, July l.j The receipts of beans fori the first week were nearly; 3000 bushels and averaged over $2.25 a bushel includ ing the basket. The quality of the beans was not as! good as usual due to dry weather just before har vesting and cold wet weath er soon after the early plan i tings were made. Receipts for this week are expected to be heavier and prices for good beans are expected to be higher. So far there have been more buyers on the market than there were beans "to; supply their needs. As more! crops are marketed through this market more outside buyers will be attracted to buy on this market. Many farmers have been found to accept lower pri ces for their beans because ( they have waited too longj to harvest their crop and! ithe beans have got too-old: for green market use, con-j jsequently bringing only cannery market prices. For green market the j beans should be picked be-1 Yore any little beans form' in the pod. Contrary to, | many beliefs, beans Miwes- j jted at this stage will weigh out as much as beans allow- 1 Farmers Federation Picnic Yancey county farmers attending the Farmers Fed eration picnic July 4th were invited to start two new industries to increase their cash incomes. The pic-] nic was held at Burnsville high school and was attend-: ed by more than 1500 peo ple. Charles Tillinghest, - vvhoj came w'ith the Federation: recently to develop a flow-; er bulb industry, announc ed his program. The grow-; ing of an acre of gladiolas, iris, dahlia, or daffodil bulbs on each farm would jpay good cash profits, he 'declared, adding that the soil and climate of this and; other Western North Caro-; lina counties is ideal for bulb growth. v2> Miss Alice Pratt, employ ed recently by the Federa tion to develop a weaving and handicraft industry m. the mountain counties, in vited the farm women pre sent to learn the possibili ties along these lines. She displayed samples of hand woven articles which, com manding a quality market, are expected to provide a nice additional income to all farm families willing to make them. Other possibilities, pre viously announced, were stressed again by James G. K. McClure, president of the Farmers Federation cooperative. They include poultry and eggs, tobacco, and turkeys. Guy M. Sales, general manager of the Federation, told of some of the plans Food Production and * Conservation are more Im portant now than ever be fore.

However, beam too — immature cut down the weight and will not bring the top price. For the best ! grade, harvest the beans just before the bean begins to form in the pod, but let the pod reach its maximum ! growth. The market will be a real advantage to the farmers of Mitchell, Yancey and Avery counties providing them w r ith a place to sell not only beans but many other vegetables and fruits. The vegetable crops pro duced here are better than can be produced in most other sections. However, if ; these can not be sold there I is no need to produce them. The Tri-County Market will not prove successful unless the farmers in the three counties cooperates and market their crops there. If only a few farm ers use the market it will ! eventually fail because buy ers w-ill not come there to i buy if they can not buy as much as they need. It is up to the farmers in this area to develop a I good market so they can 'sell their crops for wnat 'they are worth. W.
