vance our price for December. We
tried to arrange it so that we could
ray the farmer a little more and trust
to the law Of averages to save us from

I'VE miscalculated, it seems. because
the price to the farmer advanced three

only figured on about one-quarter.
This means we will suffer a slight loss
