The alfalfa crop is a great one in the Rio
Grande valley just at present. It costs $4 per
ton to produce and lay alfalfa down at the
depot, baled, and the price is $11.50 in the sum-
mer, and $14 in the winter. The net profit is
from $7 to $10 per ton. Already two cuttings
have been made, the first averaging two tons
per acre, and the average yield of the valley
will be seven tons per acre, or a net profit of
from $50 to $60 per acre.
