Potato yields rose 50% and cucumbers as much as 100%. The economics were even more impressive. With cabbage selling at $2 per crate, the increased yield would bring a farmer added revenue of $490 per acre, allowing him to pay off the cost of the asphalt layer-about $225 per acre-with his first harvest.

She also announces that the back of the stage--bare except for a crate that becomes Axminster's coffin and some stools--is the municipal garbage dump and that off to the right is a jail. Her best acting is done later in the show when she play's Axminster's dead body...
