did, as it produced 1008 after one, and 1344 per 

 fquare foot. All the rows with more grains per 

 foot than one, yielded more in general than one 

 grain. But one row with the fame number of 

 holes per foot, with two grains per hole, yielded 

 only 235 grains after one, and ^80 grains per 

 fquare foot. 



The average of the twelve rows per fquare foot 

 is 829 grains; and by the above calculation, the 

 produce is at the rate of fifty-three builiels and 

 three pecks per acre of good grain. But upon 

 weighing one ounce of this, there were 760 grains 

 per ounce, which is one-twelfth more than is 

 fuppofed in the above calculation, which would 

 therefore make the produce of this and the others 

 one-twelfth lefs. 



As laft year the greatell quantity of feed fown, 

 viz. two pecks and a half, produced the greateft 

 produce per acre, although the fmallefl: increafe 

 after one; the increafe after one was diminillied 

 from 2184 to 139. We fee in the field that the 

 increafe is much diminiflied by great quantities; 

 as where three bufliels are fown, if each yielded 

 twenty after one, the produce would be fixty 

 bufhels, whereas it is feldom above twenty or thirty, 

 which is only from feven to ten after one.
