and imperfect beans, and she grabs 

 them, letting tlie good beans pass, to 

 drop where the endless belt turns into 

 a chute that lands them in the hoppers 

 below. From the hoppers the cleaned 

 and hand-picked beans are run into bags 

 ready for the market. From the farm to 

 tlie retail dealer the beans are handled 

 many times and go through a variety of 

 |)rocesses, but nowhere along the route 

 "loes the human hand necessarily come 

 into actual contact with them. 



The bad and defective beans that are 

 picked from the endless belt are dropped 

 hy the girl into convenient openings on 

 cither side of the table, and run into a 

 bag conveniently placed. The girls are 

 paid according to the number of bad 

 beans captured, and they make from $4 

 to $8 a week, depending on their skill 

 and quickness alike of eye and fingers. 

 It the bad beans seem to be coming 

 taster than they can be picked out, the 

 ^irl by the pressure of her knee can stop 

 the belt and take her time. Each girl's 

 I lag is inspected before payment is made, 

 as a safeguard against the temptation to 

 throw in good beans to increase the pay. 

 When such practices are detected the 

 penalties are sulfficiently severe to make 

 a repetition unlikely.

 ><ecure by the number of those who each 

 year look forward to the arrival of that 

 i'lyl of the soil which comes with the 

 ' hange of seasons, the Farm Annual — 

 'his year styled the New Annual, for it is 

 'lew, from cover to cover. As Fra Elber-
