Statement of Vinal Hills, Northport — Third Premium. 



My crop consisting of 102 bushels of ears, was grown on one 

 acre, being at the rate of 50 bushels to the acre. The soil on which 

 it grew was fine loam, broke up last October, 10 inches deep ; five 

 cords green manure spread and harrowed in, and five cords put in 

 the hills, three feet by three and a half feet apart. Covered manure 

 before dropping seed ; dropped with a corn planter ; planted beans 

 between the hills on half of the ground and jDumpkins on the other 

 half. The cost of growing the same and its value are as follows :

Wheat. 



I raised on \\ acre, 25 bushels of good clean wheat; sowed 2
