Soybean Club Members Increasing Production in Stanly County, June 28, 1926

Albemarle, N.C., June 26 (AP)—Members of the soybean club in Stanly County are responsible for the increased acreage planted to the crop in that county this year, according to County Agent O.H. Phillips.

Two of the members, Banks and Ray Barrier, secured enough seed from a pint of beans planted last year to sow more than two acres this spring. Macon Rowland, a club boy in the Millingport section of the county, has a 10-acre field sown to the Laredo variety, while Bessie and Ray Almond have two acres sown to the same variety.

These club members are in love with their work, and all are planning large acreages for the next year, asserts Mr. Phillips.
