Farm Woman Is First Female Soy Bean Winner
' A Clay county farm woman has broken another Hoosier tradition. Mrs. Olive .Francis, State Road 59, Jasonville R. R. 1. is the first woman in Indiana to gairf recognition in the soy bean contest and the first to win a gold medal in the state. All others were taken by men. Mrs. Francis was one of the five to qualify for this honor in Clay county with a yield of 45.5 bushels per acre on her field. She says she deserves not too much credit for besides helping to get the seed ready she simply watched the crop grow in a good season. Mrs. Francis is the wile of Raymond Francis, young farmer who has acquired 500 acres. She said that she was compelled to take an interest in actual farm work when she went into the fields as a farm hand during the war and now gets the real farmer's thrill out of seeing things grow.
