Beans at Hazleton

One year his (Edwin Perkins) Grandpa Frances grew beans out at Hazleton.  Lamar went out and got a truck full of bean vines.  They put a large canvas in the backyard to dry them.  When the vines were dry, they stomped on the vines and then they blew the chaff away with a vacuum.  They stored about fifty pounds of dry beans that year.
