Whereas this quantity offeed grain should "becalculated onthe "basis ofa

multiplying thetotal quantity offeeding-stuffs required fortheproduction

Whereas thevalue forthequantity offeed grain does nottake into account the
extra value ofprotein feeds ,mineral salts andvitamir\s ;whereas inthelight
ofexperience ontheworld market inrecent years this extra value can "be
