The Lima bean growers of Califor-
mia, controlling over 80 per cent Of
the bean output of the state, have
formed an organization, known as
the Lima Bean Association, to con-
troll the market. This agreement in-
sures steady market, protects east
ern buyers and precludes any posi-
bility of an attempt to break the
market of competitive growers. The
selling price for the past season has
ranged from 81. 35 to 81 40 per 100
pounds, a figure almost below the
cost of production By the terms OF
the new agreement the selling price
is fixed at 81 so per 100 pounds,
with a guarantee against decline fol
80 days after each change in price.
