Farmers around Grand Rapids admit
that they do not know beans when the
bag is open. Six months ago a fat
stranger, who said he was a govern
ment expert, visited half dozen west
ern Michigan counties and offered the
farmers "The New Creation" bean at
the ridiculously low price Of 10c per
package. No farmer could buy more
than 81 worth, he said, as the govern
ment wanted wide distribution. He
promised yield of 80 bushels to the
acre. Many farmers bought and had
their employees buy. Recently the
beans were harvested and did not av-
erage more than usual and were the
= identical beans farmers are selling for
s. per bushel. Farmers who weighed
their packages Of beans say they paid
at the rate of sl25 per bushel for them.
