Ono grower last your had one Ilundrcil acres planted, several fifty, some twenty, and others with sluallcr ncrcilge. Many who had six acres last season are increas- ing to fifteen or more. There is u fixed outlay before any income may come-from the sale of seed potatoes. \Vitil fifteen acres, for example, tllorc is the payment of fertilizer averaging $20 per acre, which means $300. There is the seed, which for Cobblers is now in the vicinity of $2 per bushel-or as our dealer said of the price, "Whatever your coilsclence thinks they are worth." In. days of money craze conscience with some is vilry elastic. At fifteen bushels per acrc, there would be an outlay for seed for fifteen acres of $450. Fertilizer and seed will cost 300 and 450-8750. Then in addition lhorc is the expense nf preparing the land, planting and spraying and oxtra attention in order to pass in- spection , which in all would amount to in the neighborhood of $1,000 before any returns are r881- izcil.

The crop may not pass inspection. tho market price may not be such as to realize a good profit. i Much do’ pends on the growers maintaining high grade seed, for which there will always be demand.
