The farmers were shrewd people so they carried with theitta bill of fare for their dinner at a wodest hotel in Washington. This dinner cost them, ' excluriive of tips, $TI. Of. this din- j her, The farmer oi-protlucer had tc- i ceived just R2 - eents. The beer j brought the farmers just 18 cents a j pound and about two pounds served to the five farmers.
