Horry farmers who have been too rushed cropping tobacco to put in pole beans may still do so and come out all right.
This was the word from the Market Commission this week as indications were received that approximately 50 acres of Kentucky Wonder No. 191 Pole Beans have already been planted and that many other farmers want to plant but have not been able to take time from tobacco.
A spokesman pointed out that with the ground as moist as it is now, pole beans will "jump and run," and come to maturity earlier than would be the case if normal soil moisture prevailed.
Apparently most of the pole beans which have been planted for Fall harvest are in the lower end of the county but indications were that Upper Horry farmers will plant if they can get their tobacco cropped.
