overlooked, despite the fact that it

white bean, and experts now an

bean, yieldini; more food value to
the consumer thnn tho more familiar
varieties.
Calling attention to beans as a
substitute for meat, the United
States food Administration men
tions the comparative cheapness hnd
excellence of the variety known nr.
the Pinto or Speckled bean, which Is
grown in treiueadous quantities in
Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico,
and to a lower c::t'-r.t in practically
n nsirta of the United States. Ev
erywhere these colored beans sell at
figures substantially under those for
wbilo beans, and according to ex
perls they contain about five per
cent less water than the familiar
navy b. nns, w hich are now in the
luxury class.
Incidentally, rince the Pinto bean
is now helnq used extensively in both
the Army aid Navy, the less nutri
tious and r.v.r." expensive white bean
is In (buurer of losini; its distinction
