At » meeting of the farmers near Woodbury, N. J., a short distance from Philadelphia, where the entire farm industry is raising market vegetables, valuable facts were elicited respecting the profits of garden crops.

D. G. Andrews stated, that with him early potatoes followed by cabbage, were crops from which be realized the most money. He bad taken from three acres, $250 per acre for potatoes, and $150 for citrons. For the potatoes he used about 960 worth of manure to the acre. Sales of potatoes almost always averaged over $100 per acre.

Clement Whitall gave the following copy of his own receipts from garden crops:

They paid only one year out of five.

Cooper Cloud had received as high as $500 per acre from early tomatoes, $100 to $150 per acre for citrons. The Boston squash was also considered a good crop, and met with a ready sale.. One year the net profits were $200 per acre.

But it was evident that prices were very fluctuating, and the average net profits, year after year, did not exceed $50 to $100 per acre. Those who had grown stock, had done best. Every cow was worth $100 per year to its proprietor, and on a farm of fifty acres, twenty-five cows soiled would give a much larger income than if the land had been devoted to truck.
