Field IS'o. 10 was green sward and plowed for corn, commencing April 30. 

 Commenced planting May 21, and finished May 23, except a small part of the 

 field that required more labor to get ready. The back part of the field was 

 very rough, and the '^muck-bed," a portion of which was very bad, was not 

 got into crop. About 20 acres were planted to White. Dent variety. Com- 

 menced cultivating May 31, as soon as rows could be seen. Tlio corn was 

 planted in drills, four feet apart, and thinned when first hoed. The crop was 

 cultivated three times, twice in each row, and hoed twice. The corn was cut 

 and shocked on Sept. 13, 14, and 15, mostly. Twenty -seven hours' work fin- 

 ishing on the 16th, but even then the corn was not fully ripe, and the low 

 ground in the v\^est part of the field had been touched with frost. We just 

 escaped the heavy frost that followed two or three days after. The following
