The continued wet weather will probably make it impossible for many farmers in Jasper county to plant to corn all tlffe ground they had intended to. If not too late when this ground Bs fit to work, why would it not be a good idea to plant a lot of it to navy beans? The price of beans is the highest ever known—lo cents per pound retail—and a good crop of beans would probably pay double or treble that of corn, acre for acre. This country does not produce enough beans to supply the demand for local consumption and the canning factories, and some millions of bushels are imported each year. This is not as it should be and, with the conditions as they are this year, it is a good time for the farmers of Jasper county who have land that cannot be planted to corn in time to insure its maturing, to try planting a few acres of beans.
