BEAN CROP SHORT
AND PRICES SOAR So R

Beans have gone sky high, especial,
the small white or navy. bean which
has become almost a luxury during Tho
last few months.
, Michigan grows more. beans thar
any other state but the Michigan croI
has been sold short, down to the last
ton. Ten cents pound is the price
now being offered in the Wholesale mar
krts at Chicago, with nary q bean in
sight to fill orders.
The explanation given is "war or
ders,' bean exports having been un
usually heavy. California is quite q
bean State but does not compare with
Michigan. Normal prices at this sea
Fon are usually around three cents
From present Indications beans would
be a good crop for Hawaiian farmers
to plant to make q quick turn. They
have to he graded and hand picked like
coffee but if prices remain at their pres,
emit level there is a good margin in the
business, even with seed at ten cents
or more.
