“These dried beans are much
easier to cook and taste a lot better",
is what Mrs. L. Kent of the Eldorado
home demonstration club in Schleich-
er county, said recently of the beans!
she had gathered while they were in
the yellow stage. The beans were
shelled and spread out in the shade
to dry, which takes about four days
if the weather is clear. Mrs. Kent has
thirty-four pounds of pinto beans
which she has dried in this manner,
for winter use.
