Our cooperative bean market estab lished in September with the B A B Feed company, through the efforts of the County Agricultural Advisory com mittee has proven that such an under taking can be made profitable and workable. Although the market was open only a very short time, about 800 bushels of beans were handled for the farmers from all parts of the county. The beans were In 30 different lots representing that many-different persons. The net price ranged all the way from 35 cents for the low grade up to 65 cents for the quality number ones, with a 60 cent average for all sold.
