BEAN WEIGHS EIGHT POUNDS
26 Oct 1920 Ironton Register
August Heider has the goods to prove his claim.
He brought a butter bean to the Register office today weighing 8 1/2
pounds and measuring 35 3/4 inches in length. The specimen is that of
the Guinea butter bean, a new discovery and Gus says he is going to
have the big fellow cooked and served and he promises to tell us just
how it tastes. Gus and Charley Fell always have big stories to tell
about their ability to grow things and confidently we do not always
believe what Fell says, but Gus usually produces the living evidence so
we cannot doubt him. The bean looks like a Zulu war club and if it is
as good as it is big, oh boy, what you could do with it in a fight.
