PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT.
Fsrty-one Million Pounds Contracted
for by Government.

o. H. Liebers, head of the Pinto
Bean Division, U. s. Food Admins
tration, has contracted forty-one mil
lion pounds Of beans from growers in
Colorado. New Mexico and adjoining
states. This amount is considered to
be at least 80 per cent of total amount
available. Contracts are coming in
daily from growers and all indica-
tions are that the division will get at
least IS per cent Of the 1917 crop Of
Pinto beans still unsold.
One million pounds of extra choice
seed has been stored at the following
points: Denver. Greeley, Trinidad.
Clayton, New Mexico and Albu.
querque, New Mexico. This seed will
be sold to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight, cost Of storage, in
surance and other incidental ex-
penses. The price should not exceed
3s.1b per cwt. For this. the grower
is getting an unusual quality OF dry
land Pinto beans. recleaned and well
sacked.
Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment -

shipments will average 10000 pounds
per car. The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
Is fast ~ they can get equipment and
orders for them from the eastern mar
kots. It should be noted that this 10
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to those eastern con-
suniing centers. After tho Food Ad-
mfnistration gets through placing this
years crop on the market. the east
will be as familiar with the Pinto
bean as 1t is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
troubles in getting satisfactory mar
ket for Pinto beans.

and they carry on as before.
While in rest billets Tommy gets up

platoon officer, and has breakfast. At

the orders which have been read out
by the orderly sergeant the night pre-
vious.
Between II 80 and noon he is dis
