There was time years and years
ago, when the producer of farm prod

facilities for Weighing marketable
stun. whether stock or grain, was
! compelled to submit to the weights of
the purchaser. In more instances than
one feeling of dissatisfaction de-
yeloped between the producer and
buyer which has led to the former for
