for hay. Mr. Loyd had the finest field 

 of Indian corn I ever beheld so neat, not 

 a weed that I saw in one hundred acres all 

 in one field ; and the corn then going into 

 silk, and in general as high as a man on 

 horseback. He had the best crop of buck- 

 xvheat I ever saw, intended to be ploughed 

 in for vegetable manure. He had about 

 five acres of pumpkins in good condition, 

 All his crops were better than any other I 

 saw :a any part of America, and every 

 thing in the greatest order. He has some 

 very good sheep, fine cattle, and very good 

 horses. Mr. Loyd's father had some years 

 before imported a bull and two cows from 

 Mr. Bakewcll : and from the offspring he 

 had some of the fattest cattle that could be 

 imagined, for the food they had to live 

 upon. He estimated some of his wheat at 

 fifteen bushels per acre ; and it was said 

 the produce from eighteen hundred acres 

 of land was eighteen thousand bushels of 

 wheat ; which was one of the greatest 

 crops in America.
