Construction Work in Wood Done for Farmers by Expert Me- 

 chanics. As might be expected, barns, poultry houses and cabinet 

 work are largely found at the top of the list given in Table 7. That 

 certain work rather generally done by farmers is also found in this 

 table, is probably due to the fact that there are always some farm- 

 ers who, because of lack of experience or for other reasons, hire 

 such work done.
