4. Last fall we seeded about 7 acres of land on the flat on the 

 Smith farm to alfalfa, and last month something more than 12 acres 

 on the Cornell tract near the East Ithaca station were seeded to 

 the same crop. 



5. The hay harvested from the College lands and from areas 

 which we operate on shares for the College use was about 200 tons. 



6. We grew 89 acres of oats, 60 acres of which were College 

 land and 29 acres land worked on shares. We also had 6 acres of 

 wheat on rented land. 



7. We have grown on the College farm 40 acres of corn, which 

 is soon to be used in filling our silos. Notwithstanding the season 

 has been counted unfavorable for corn growing, our crop is satis- 

 factory on all but one field of about 10 acres. On part of this 

 area we have grown with the corn the Russian sunflower and on 

 another part soy-beans. In this rather unfavorable season, the sun- 

 flower is making an especially fine showing. 



8. We have 3^2 acres devoted to root crops, mangel wurzels 

 occupying the larger part of the area.
