PllOFITS OF THE SeASOX. 



Judging from the returns the present season has not been 

 an unprofitable one for our farmers as a whole, although 

 perhaps not up to some recent years for profit. Corn and 

 potatoes are the only principal crops to show a shortage, 

 and in the case of the latter good prices somewhat compen- 

 sate for the decreased yield. Good prices received for most 

 crops together with quick sales have been factors making 

 for profit. Of the 144 correspondents answering this ques- 

 tion, 62 consider the season to have been profital)le, 11 as 

 above the average for profit, 16 as average for profit, and 18 

 as fairly profitable, while 37 think that it has not been a 

 profitable one.
