RETURNS FROM AUCHTER ORCHARD. 



PRICE OF APPLES. 



We come now to the average price of apples for the past ten 

 years as grown in the Auchter orchard. We have received an average 

 of $2.60 for all the barreled stock sold, which includes firsts and 

 seconds. For evaporator and cider stock we have received 72 cents 

 per barrel, rather above the average, possibly, because in two seasons 

 gales of wind, as has been said, gave an abnormally large quantity 

 of very good windfalls. The yearly prices received appear in 

 Table III.
