Scope and Contents
151 x 97 mm. The caption continues: 'The cow pats are dried and used for fuel, also to mix with clay for making their floors. It polishes up very well. There are very few trees in Basutoland [i.e. Lesotho]. This burning of dung is a serious problem in the country, for it should go back into the earth. 1950.'
