The past year only about one-third of crop
was produced The average yield in Great
Britain is put at $50 pounds per acre, and that
of this country at 9S8 pounds. The cost Of
production is estimated by an extensive grow
er of New York, at l0cents perpound, inclu-
ding the picking. The entire cost Of an av-
erage crop in ordinary times at the usual pri-
ces for labor and including the rent of the
land, is l5c per pound.

ly prepared for setting out the plants, and that
they have been grown one season from the
slip, the first step is to determine the number
