EXTRACT FROM ALLEGANY COUNTY REPORT. 



LYMAN SMITH. 



I this year sowed one acre of ground to barley, and harvested there- 

 from sixty-three and one-half bushels of barley, by measure, of a 

 quality which would exceed lawful weight. 



The soil is a sandy loam, not this year manured. Last year, it was 

 planted to com; before which planling, it was lightly manured. 

 The ground was plowed but once before sowing the barley.
