hard to handle, but must be properly
organized by the farmers getting to-

they could place their .ow.n, price, just

who sells a coev hide cannot fix the
Deice, but ,the tanner, ,the boat manu-
facturer, the whosesaler, the jobber

hide to ;buy a parr of boots or a lot
of wool to buy a sunt of clothes. The
climatic conditions make it impossible
to telt the cost of producing any one
