COSTS, YIELDS, AND PROFITS I39 



market Is about ^1.07; subtracting this from 

 the average wholesale price per crate, $2, 

 would leave a profit of 93 cents which, 

 multiplied by the number of crates produced, 

 would give the net profit: 



250 crates at 93c, per crate $232.50 



300 crates at 93c. per crate 279.00 



800 crates at 93c. per crate 74400 



These returns are far in excess of the 

 average of farm crops in general and they 

 compare very favourably with some of our 

 large net returning market garden crops.
