Just because these figures are given for an 

 entire acre does not mean that the man with two 

 acres should devote half of his land to any one 

 crop. As a matter of fact, the greatest success 

 usually comes to him who divides his land judi- 

 ciously and grows a variety of crops. 



This is also true of the following figures which 

 indicate yields that have been secured from 

 different kinds of vegetables. It is necessary, 

 perhaps, to caution the prospective small farmer 

 that some of these vegetables do not thrive profit- 

 ably in some sections, but where they do thrive 

 these yields have been secured: 



Asparagus, 3,000 bunches at 20c. per bunch $600.00 



Cauliflower, 100 to 200 bbls. at $1.50, approx 200.00 



Onions, 600 bus. at 75c. per bu 450.00
