last step, the sale of apple seedlings, the 

 writer says: 



"The market is exceedingly unstable 

 and the prices vary greatly with the 

 yield, grades and the demand — from 

 $1 to $10 per thousand, from $3.50 to $5 

 being a fair average. A net profit of 

 $75 an acre is considered a quite good 

 return, and the average acre production 

 is from 100,000 to 150,000 seedlings. 

 The estimated cost of growing an acre 

 of seedlings is $100. Foremen are paid 

 $100 per month, pullers $2 per day, 

 graders, packers, wheel hoers and cul- 

 tivators $1.75 per day, and weeders 

 from 75 cents to $1 per day. The seed 

 costs, on the average, about $14 or $16 

 per bushel. Then there are the ex- 

 penses of cellars, houses, tools, horses
