HAY CEOP. 



The crop of clover and timothy on the upland was particularly good this season. 

 Twenty-three acres yielded 57 tons, 1,340 lbs. 



The hay on the marsh, owing to the breaking of dykes in this locality for the past 

 two autumns, and the repeated overflowing of the land with salt water, was a pai*- 

 ticularly poor crop, and is likely to be so each year until the land can be reseeded 

 with clover and timothy. Forty-nine acres yielded 64 tons, 50 lbs. 



The total hay crop was 121 tons, 1,390 lbs.
