PROBABLE PROFITS 131 



$80 profit, and fifty bushels per acre little or no profit 

 at all. 



Instances are common of admirable yields during a 

 single season. One grower in a small town in central 

 New York sold $500 worth of fruit from half an acre 

 in a recent year. It should be firmly fixed in mind that 

 all such results are exceptional, and no one should use 

 them as a basis for average profits. 



I think it may safely be said, however, that with a 

 good market, good management, intelligence and skill, 

 both in growing and marketing the fruit, a profit of 

 $100 per acre can be expected with a fair degree of 

 certainty.
