Injections of an extract from the new bean, officially named Phaseolus Magus, have completely shrunk several types of cancerous tumors in mice, including cancer of the stomach, lung, liver, and kidney. A second extract is being tested as a treatment for leukemia.
In addition to these medicinal properties, the bean has double protein levels and amino acids needed for protein production of soy beans, on a par with the protein obtained from lean beef. More remarkable is that the bean contains a complete set of essential amino acids, the only such vegetable protein source. This property alone has the potential for wiping out malnutrition in areas where meat, poultry or fish sources of protein are not sufficient.
The bean is drought tolerant and resistant to common viral, fungal and rot that affect other varieties of beans, making it a hardy crop in tropical, semi-tropical, and temperate climates. The typical yield from a new bean crop is at least 50% higher on average than can be obtained from other bean varieties. One reason for the significantly higher yields is the spectacular heights the vines reach when mature. The circumference of a mature vine averages four feet which is sufficient for the vines to grow upwards without supporting structures. After the beans have been harvested, the vines can also be harvested as building materials as strong as oak planks.
Carlysle Agro-Industries estimates the annual income from the sale of the new bean will exceed $50 million per year. Carlysle plans to set aside a percentage of the profits for scholarships to students committed to pursuing careers in science or agriculture.

Police say the 119-year-old victim tossed boulders at law enforcement for an hour while hiding in a lighthouse before being fatally wounded by Officer Black.
The victim was a suspect in more than 50 disappearances of children from the Whitley area. None of the missing children have been found, although nearly all were last seen in the vicinity of an oversized vine that had grown so tall its top reached the clouds above the Whitley Cemetery. Attempts to capture the giant and take him in for questioning with regard to the disappearances failed several times during the past year.
On Friday Mayor Haskel Thompkins told the people of Whitley, "We've closed an important chapter in this tragedy."
