Soy Beans Now Being Grown As Cash Crop In Wiregrass
Soy beans are being added as a commercial crop in the Wiregrass region with the variety Otooran grown alongside peanuts. An eight-farmer pilot in Houston, Dale, and Geneva counties tested multiple bean varieties, aiming for a market price around 593 per bushel, higher than the federal support price. The Wiregrass experiment, led by Dothan Oil Muth officials, seeks a profitable alternative to peanuts and cotton seed, noting regional suitability and storage advantages.

After Two Months Civil Cases In Common Pleas Show Gain
The Houston County Inferior Court began August 18 and after two months shows three more civil cases pending than at opening. Eight civil cases were disposed, 11 new ones filed, making Common Pleas total 54 civil and six criminal cases. Criminal cases dropped from ten to one new case since August 13. Judge Mullins arrived to find few plaintiffs or defendants, as the courts share concurrent jurisdiction with Common Pleas under new legislation aimed at abolishing Common Pleas, a constitutional amendment proposed for November 1948.
