 12 and 15 grains, than where there were fewer 

 grains planted. 



The tranfplanted and dibbled were much lels 

 layed over by the wind than the drilled; which 

 appeared to be from the items fupporting each 

 other, and "the earth about the roots being firmer 

 than the drilled, which had lefs fupport on one fide, 

 from the earth not being properly layed to the 

 flems. Thefe were reaped the 2 2d of September. 

 That tranfplanted in March was not quite fo ripe 

 as the other. 



The drilled half acre produced five bufhels and 

 two pecks; which is at the rate of 11 bufhels per
