Rains Damage Soy Bean Crop
Lower Delaware farmers, who are
heavy producers of soy beans, are
hard hit on their crop this year, and
there is every indication, from re-
ports reaching here throughout the
county, that many thousands of dol
lars will be lost because of the rainy
season which has taken place in this
section for the past three or four
weeks. After cutting the crop last
month and making plans to have
them thrashed, heavy rains set in
and presented it. They held out
hopes day after day that fair wealth
er would prevail and dry out the
beans so they could be threshed. 1t
seems. however. that fate has been
working against them and the Op-
pOrtunity has not come to a large
number of the growers to get the
crop threshed and housed. The re-
suit has been that they have in many
instances started sprOuting as well
as rOtting. thus making them worth
ness and causing the growers to sus-
tain heavy losses.
