STATEMENT OF J. A. KLINE, OF EGREMONT. 

 In compliance with your request, I have to-day pulled and weighed some of 



my beets. They weigh 472 pounds to the rod. The culture was simply this : 



The ground was sowed to corn, last year. Last spring 1 put about ten loads of 

 dirt (from under a stable) to the acre — plowed the ground the twenty-fifth of May 

 — then sowed 400 pounds of Mape's phosphate, and 400 pounds of salt to the 

 acre ; harrowed thoroughly ; then ridged about seven ridges to the rod ; seed 

 dropped dry about the first of June ; variety Lane's improved.
