Shortage of Beans. 



There never was a time when seed beans of the green 

 and wax-pod varieties were as scarce as now. This is 

 due to weather conditions during the growing season of 

 1915, when blight and disease caused many crop fail- 

 ures, and in some instances the seed growers did not get 

 back one-half the quantity of seed planted. This has 

 caused an advance in prices and OU' offers are made 

 subject to stock being unsold upon receipt of order.
