West Virginia stands eighth I'm the
production Of dry edible beans" says
Professor !. $. Cook Of the College Of
Agriculture. In a recent bulletin deal
ing with the growing and marketing Of
beans
Professor Cook believes that many
West Virginia farmers could profitabIy
grow from one to five acres Of beans
and market them locally. Prices
here are higher than in other bean
producing states and large quantities
OF beans are shipped into the state an
nually. The average wholesale price
in West Virginia is $500 per bushel
and the average retail price S445 per
bushel
H. T.. Flesher, superintendent OF the
boys Industrial school near Grafton,
last year grew 100 acres Of beans av-
eraging II bushels per acre, on land
that until recently had been entirely
abandoned. When threshed and hand
cleaned. these beans sold at from
1915 to $500 per bushel. On land of
fair quality IS bushels per acre can
usually be grown without dificulty,

For several years past the West
Virginia experiment station has been
testing different varieties Of potatoes
at Terra Alta in Preston county. II
has been found that there is a great
difference in the yield OF these vari-
ties. In order that the farmers OF the
state may receive some benefit from
these tests, arrangements have been
made whereby those desiring TO obtain
some seeds OF high yielding variety
may do so. The station offers for sale
a limited amount OF four Of the best
main crop varieties in their test, al a
price sufficient only TO cover the cost
Of the same. Not more than one peck
OF each variety will be sold TO one
person as the supply is limited and a
wide distribution is desired. A peck
will be shipped perpaid by parcel post
upon receipt of GOc Those desiring
seed should remit by =. o. money or
der as soon as possible to Professor

Within a few days after the legisla-
ture had passed the new law enabling
county courts TO pay half the salary
and expenses Of county agricultural
agent. the Wetzel county and the
Wayne county farm bureaus had
drawn up petitions and presented
them to their respective county
courts. The requests were granted
and funds were appropriated suGi-
cient to equal the funds secured
through the agricultural extension de-
partment OF the West Virginia univer-
sity. This method Of raising local
funds for county agent work stands
out in marked contrast to the old plan
of canvassing the county for general
subscriptions.
