BRITISH COLUMBIA 55

At a very moderate estimate the crop should average 6 tons per
acre. Ten or even more tons are not infrequent, but for this estimate
6 tons per acre is the calculation. They should be marketed thus:

20 tons early potatoes @ per ton $20.00............ $400 .00
20 tons main crop @ per ton, $15.00............... 300.00
20 tons main crop marketed following spring, when

prices are highest @ $25.00................:-- 500.00

(The latter price is frequently $30.00 and even
more per ton.)
