EXERCISE 12. A STUDY OF MARKET PRICES OF FEEDING STUFFS 



Compute the weekly market quotations of the feeds given in the folio w- 

 ing list from one of the main agricultural papers of the state, preferably for 

 a period of several years. Several feeds may be assigned to each student in 

 order that a longer period may be compared and the figures obtained may have 

 general value. Where no market quotations are available, the cost 'given in 

 the feed bulletins of the various experiment stations or the feed inspection 

 bureaus may be used. In the case of feeds where no market quotations or 

 prices are available, the figures for local prices to be adopted should be -decided 

 after careful consideration and discussion in the class :
