As the stock I have of theg2 beans js limi- 
ted and may be sold out early I must reserve 
the privilege of substituting the variety that 
is nearest lik2 the one you order. 
l am making the prices as low as I can in 
order to pay part of the expense of this dis- 
‘tribution. 6 oz., about 600 beans, enough to 
plant 75 feet of row, postpaid to any place in 
the U.S.A. 14 cents. 5 pounds not postpaid, 
25 cents. Send postage for 6 pounds so as to 
cover the weight of packing. 
The growing season cf 1941 has been the 
most unfavorable for bean growing that I 
have experienced for many years in this locali- 
ty. : 
We had about six weeks of extremely hot 
and dry weather while the beans were grow- 
ing which destroyed many of tae blossoms 
thereby decreasing the normal yield. 
The Giant Green ripened at the end of this 
dry spell and the ‘beans were somewhat 
shriveled. 
The other varieties were cut as they ripen- 
ed and tize rains came so frequently that We 
despaired of getteing them dry in condition to 
thresh, but we finally succeeded in saving 
them. 
Soybean soup is one simple way of utiiizing 
these unfamiliar ibz:ans. Ancther use, one that 
will make a hit with the children, turns them 
into salted soy nuts. Wash te dry soybean. 
and soak them overnight; then drain and 
spread them out on a towel at room tempera- 
ture until the surface is dry. Fry a few ata 
time in deep fat heated to 350 degrees F., for 
8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Drain 
and sprinkle with salt while still warm. These 
soy nutS are just as good as salted peanuts 
and provide an excellent introduction to soy- 
beans. .
