Income from each Of these prod

with market prices on about the same
general level. The greatest increase
will be in the value of hogs marketed,
as this industry has made immense
strides in the past year. The volume
Of wool marketed will be the greatest
for the past five years, due to the

The main difficulty has been caused
by the fact that many persons have

the former tax Of one-cent already
