WHEN THE FARMER BUYS

Everyone wants higher prices.
when the coin is coming in but when
going out, that is another question.
The farmer is no exception to this
rule and owing to the fact that he
buys very little in many cases causes
this fact to stick out with more force.
A typical case was called to my
mind the other day when farmer
went to one of the produce houses
and sold hide from calf for the
price of some SIP or SIS; that was
all right and nothing more than
proper, but when he stepped in the
next store and asked for pair of
shoe: soles and the price of so cents
was mentioned, he went all to pieces
and accused everybody (no names
mentioned) in the country of high
way robbery. The very idea of a
pair of shoe soles costing so cents,
he simply could not associate the
priceeof his hide and the shoe soles
together Statesville Sentinel.
