their ground in shape for planting.
Many will plant during the coming

the coming season for bunch lima
beans, will also be very large again
this year. Last season was his larg-

grew. This crop is becoming more
popular every year with the local
farmers. The tomato crop used to
be very popular with local farm
ers, but for the four or five years it
has gradually been losing ground.
