The cash expense per acre is $12. 15 the produce is $19.86 per acre; the net o profit per acre is $7.70. To this should be added the value of the stocks sold standing after the corn was husked, at S1 per acre, bringing the net profit to ,s S8.70 per acre. We have heard good farmers say they could make and Hay by" crop of corn at one days work for man and team per acre. In exceptional Leases it may be done. Our experience is that it will oftener overrun than go AZ below the figures we have given. Whether it takes quarter of day more !, or less, 1t will vary the cash cost of the .. corn per bushel but slightly.
