has three feet of fpace, or 432 inches, this increafe 

 is 728 grains per fquare foot. 



This year, one grain at the fame diftance pro- 

 duced 291 per hole or foot of rows, with 56 grains 

 per ear, which is an increafe of 1652 after one, 

 and 550I: per fquare foot. 



The quantity of feed planted is at the rate of 

 one-twelfth of a peck per acre. 



By weighing feveral bufliels of wheat of diffe- 

 rent kinds, and reckoning the grains in an ounce, 

 it was found that the average weight was 6olb. per 

 bufhel; and that in one ounce, there were 700 

 grains of good wheat; and of fmall wheat, 760 

 grains. As there are 43560 fquare feet per acre, 

 this multiplied by the grains per fquare foot, and 

 divided by the grains in a buflael, will give the 

 number of bufliels per acre. 



By this calculation, the 728 grains per fquare 

 foot lafl: year will amount to 47 bufliels and three 

 quarters of a peck per acre. And the 550 grains 

 per fquare foot of this year will amount to 35 

 bufliels 2~ pecks per acre. * 



The greateft produce upon the foot fquare 

 is from fcven grains per hole, and four holes 

 per foot in rows, or 28 grains per foot, although
