James Walker of Fryeburg, certifies to a crop of eight rowed 

 yellow corn, grown on a gravelly loam, not very hard, rather 

 fine, of a dark color, with a hard and gravelly subsoil. A part 

 of the field was cultivated the previous year with potatoes and 

 a, part was in grass. The preparation of the land was plowing 

 to a depth of eight to ten inches, at an expense of $4, and har- 

 rowing. Put on sixteen cart loads from a barn cellar. About 

 the last of May sowed corn in hills twenty inches to two feet 

 apart; rows three and a half feet apart. The seed was soaked 

 in barn yard water and rolled in plaster. Ashes and plaster 

 were applied, one gill to a hill before hoeing. On the 26th Sep- 

 tember harvested one hundred and two bushels of good ripe 

 corn. The corn was cut up at the roots because it was labor 

 saving. Five tons stalks dry enough to put in mow without in- 

 juring.
