Aside from the first cost of the trees and work of planting them, the 

 first year includes but little more effort than that necessary to produce 

 a corn crop. Not quite so much corn can be grown as in the open 

 field on account of the interference of the tree rows.

Total cost $225 25 



Cost per acre 15 00 



The manure used in this case was well rotted and was applied around
