My corn-piece had been planted to onions and cabbages for 

 the past two years and manured well, and is in good tilth for 

 a hay-crop. 



WORCESTER SOUTH-EAST. 



Statement of Lewis Wood, of Mendon. 



I raised my corn on one acre of land. The ground was 



greensward, ploughed in August, 1873, and harrowed in the 



spring of 1874. Eight cords of cellar-manure were spread 



broadcast, and four cords of compost put in the hill ; the soil 



is a deep loam.
