Profit on ^ acre, IslOO 09 



" '^ 1 acre, 200 18 



As prices of produce are away down and the price of 

 labor away up in proportion, I have allowed the highest 

 price paid for labor and the bottom price for onions, so 

 you may see that with the use of a good fertilizer and a 

 liberal quantity of it, there is yet a living profit. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



John H. George. 



I hereby certify that I have measured the piece of land 

 on which grew the piece of onions entered by John H. 

 (leorge for premium with the Essex Agricultural Society 

 and it contains ^ acre.
