STATEMENT OF HORATIO MASON, OF EAST MEDWAY, 

 ON BARLEY. 



To the Committee on Grain Crops, of the Norfolk Agricidtaral 

 Society : 

 The field of Barley contains one acre. It embraces a variety of 

 soil, from a rich gravel loam on one side, to meadow mud on the 

 other. It was planted with corn last year. This spring the ground 

 ■was ploughed, and spread with thirteen loads of green manure, and 

 ploughed in, and sowed Avith two bushels of four-rowed barley. The 

 part of the field next to the upland is well adapted to this crop, and 

 produced as fine a crop as I have ev^er seen, while the flat land next 

 to the meadow was very light. 



EXPENSE OF CULTIVATING. 



Twice ploughing, $2.50 ; cultivating and sowing, $1, - $3.50 

 Threshins and harvesting, 6.00
