BUT TTERBEAN THREE
FEET LONG AFFORDS
DINNER FOR FAM|LY Y

j. w. Johnson Of Milo, was in Ard
more Wednesday tansacting busl'
ness but took time while here to praise
the work done by Secretary Russell,
and all other officers OF the Carter
County Fair Association, also to Incl
dentally remark that he expected to
take away the bacon in the individual
farm exhibits, to be displayed at the
fair beginning September 10th.
Mr.. johnson says that he has Il
large variety of farm products ready
for the exhibit, among which Will be
some remarkable specimens of corn,
milo maize, kaffr, feterita and other
feed stuffs. He also has every con
ceivable variety of farm and garden
produce, as well as a fine collection
of fruits, the latter both in the native
state and in the can.
The most interesting exhibit that
Mr.. johnson will have at the fair VIII
be a giant butter bean, measuring
nearly thirty inches in length ana
with a diameter. through the thickest
part of nearly three inches.
This sounds like some bean story,
but it is true nevertheless, and the
the bean originated.
This bean is known as the New
Guinea Butterbean," and was intro
duced into the United States about
the year 1917. 1t is grown principally
i'm New Guinea, or Papua as the coun-
try is now called, an island situated
north of Australia. 1t is said to fur-
nish subsistence for the Papuan ma
tives, the vines are easily grown, are
very prolific and a valuable adjunct
to the farm and garden.
The beans themselves grow to an as
tonishing size, anywhere from three
to six feet long and weigh in many
instances as much as sixteen pounds
or more. one bean is sufficient for
family of several persons and is SAID
to be of very delicious flavor.
In addition to their palatableness the
beans are very rich in nutritious ma
terials and the delicious buttery fla'
vor is much appreciated.
Mr.. johnson says that they are easily
grown and being so prolific, should
materially reduce the high cost OF nv
ing if cultivated to any extent in this
section.
He SAYS that seed is rather hard to
secure at present, but may be suppleu
in limited quantities through the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
MIR. johnson says that farmers
are all looking forward to the APP
preaching fair. and as a rule every
one of them will have something 10
