The annual crop is 1,250,000 bushels and the export value is around $1,000,- 000, 1,000;000, 'Outlining the history of the bean, the O.A.C. president said a broad bean was grown 2,000 years before .Christ.

While his petition campaign is being waged throughout the country, Parker attacked the scheme .from a different approach last week, By threatening court action, he demanded and got a check from a paoker for hogs With ,no deductions for the mar- keting co-operative.
