About half of it was set about nine (9) or ten (10) 

 years ago and the rest about six years ago. 



I estimate use of land, cost of cultivating and trimming 

 at twenty-five dollars ($25) for the year, the cost of pick- 

 ing and marketing the season's crop at forty-five dollars 

 ($45) making expenses seventy dollars ($70) in all. 



We picked seven hundred and fifteen (715) quarts of 

 berries which were worth this year 20 cents a quart making 

 the value of the crop one hundred and forty-three dollars 

 (1143). 



Respectfully yours, 



John C. Day.
