sweet Corn and Bean production,

The bean crop was badly hurt
by the heat and drought of late June

;ient acreage is available as it has
IN established outlet for high quality
beans, feels that beans will grow
veil in this community and believes

Jersifed income for local growers
and labor alike.

All the above listed farmers are
to be congratulated on their splendid
production of this essential war crop,
and the Company hopes that more
normal weather conditions in the fu-
ture will result in large majority
of its growers entering the 3ton club.
Sweet corn and other cannery
crops have done more than any other
crop except milk to promote the pros
perity and progress of this rich ag-
ricultural section and are not only a
valuable contribution to the war
effort, but will help maintain our
farm incomes in the critical postwar
periOd.
