 lows: —

Of the crop of 1916 we still have on hand a considerable 

 proportion retained for use in storage experiments, — 80 barrels 

 estimated to bring in $620, while the balance still due on sales 

 of the 1916 crop is $1,185.04. The total proceeds from the sale 

 of the 1916 crop, therefore, must amount to substantially 

 $3,542.32.
