conditions somewhat similar to lust

Department of Agriculture, who has
iust completed a survey of the situ-

In his report of conditions in the
Lindsay district, Mr, Alqulre says:
"As yet few manufacturers have
mtcred the field or shown much in

lealers, exclusive of local buyers,

I'.iat about ' ; 5 per cent Is wither on
