Experimental Farm Notes In potato* growing provinces like New Brumewick there is always move or less discussion as to what it sh ould | cost to grow a good crop of potatoes, | and statements vary from.as low as | $40.00 per acre to as high as $125.00. | Naturally there will be much varia ticn in cost according to local con | ditions, and especially to the ability of thé land to produce without cex | pensive fertilizing. It should® be borne in mind that it will usually cost the potato speciailst more to] grow his crop than it will the Tarmer who - follows mixed farming and makes his potato crop merely, one of his many activities. Q With a view to getting actual fig | ures under average congdifions in| New Brunswick, a careful Fecord has (been made at the Dominion Experi {mental Station, Fredericton, for the: past two seasons with an acre of {land set apart for this particular | purpose : Neither rent of land: nor deprecia ition of. machinery was included in the calculation, for these two are items that are largely in t} hands of the individual grower. As a gene ral rule, however, it would be fair to viarge as rent 10 per cent. of the value of the land, and special ma | chinery will depreciate from 25 per| cent. to 50 per year if used steadily for ten days each season. In 1915! the depreciation of the potato digger] alone, used at the Kapertmental Sta-| tion, was $6 per acre | In 1915 the acre was planted with Green Mountain, Irish_ Cobbler and Empire State. Seed, cliltural opera-| tions and harvesting cost in all $67.93. #ighty barrels of 165 pounds each of marketable potatoes were obtained, and sold at $1.75 per| barrel, making a profit over cost of production of 90e per barrel. Seven | barrels of culls were sold for $3 50, | so that the total profit for the acre amounted to $75.50 | Tis land was rather wet natur- ally, and during the «very. rainy weather of June and July was _seve- | ral times flooded, causing missed | hills and. inferior plants generally This land 'was originally cleared many years ago, and SRer Jattiug hay for thirty yeard it was alowed to | | Poultry. | Chickens, dressed, th... .. .. .. | Chickens, live, 1b.
