EXTRACT FROM CAYUGA COUNTY REPORT. 

 THOMAS OGDEN. 



The soil sandy, gravelly loam ; the preceding year planted to 

 potatoes ; no manure carted upon the land in ten years ; once seeded 

 within that time to clover. Three years since broke up, soil good. 

 The ground was plowed once last spring, and sowed to oats at the 

 rate of three bushels per acre. The oats were a new variety to me, 

 but the name of the variety I have forgotten. A black oat, stiff 

 straw, ^with a compact and very heavy head, stand up well. The 

 yield was 641 bushels.
