Excerpt
A side line on a small farm which brings in fro $2200 to $3700 a year would be termed a successful side line. Such is the record of a little fruit and vegetable stand maintained on the farm of A. Avery of Freewater, Oregon.
Mr. Avery offers for sale at the stand any garden or orchard products of the farm which he deems it advisable to dispose of in this way. Prunes, apples and other fruits are packed and shipped in season in a wholesale manner. But fruit which ripens too early or too late for the general shipping, or products raised for home use only, but all of which are not needed at home are sold at the stand. Thus the stand in not at all the chief business of the ranch, but only a side line as is the vegetable garden or chicken flock on the average farm.
