to the acre, while the last was good
and yielded $50 bushels to the acre.
From the whole field SIG bushels
were dug, an average of about 90 bu-
shells to the acre. These we're worth
dollar a bushel at the farm, how
ever, which in part made up for the
low yield.
The clover sown the previous year
made a good showing over four tons
of hay were taken from 2-acre
piece, while the remainder of the
new seeding cut about ton per acre
Eight acres of oats, in which the US
ual seeding of timothy was made,
yielded 1856 bushels of grain. Lime
and acidphosphate had been put on
this field. Buckwheat yielded 100
bushels of grain on 51h acres. Thir-
teen head of young stock were sum
mered on this pasture. An old orch
ard of about acres, which the okner
had reserved, was renovated and
sprayed at cost of 500.
At the end of the second year. al
though number of fairly expensive
improvements had been made, includ-
ing the repair of the barn at a cost
of 500, the owners share of the.
gross receipts of the enterprise
amounted to $9O6. This included
$3.50 received for apples from the or
chard which he had reserved for his
own use. His net income was $694.-
CO., or 1926 per cent on the invest
ment.
In this case the owners labor. as
superintendent is negligible, since he
was running his home farm. and de-
voting only spare time to the hill
farm in question. However, even If
the owner were allowed $500 for his
superintendence and $40 for the use
of the few tools which he contributed.
the investment would still show
dividend of per cent. At the same
time the tenant made a comfortable
living. No strict record was kept of
his returns, but his share of the field
crops for the second year was worth !
about $500, while the four cows con-
tributed materially to the family
living.
