82 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



The reported products of the five lots for each of the three 

 years are herewith presented in the tabular form in pounds 

 weight. Crops reported in bushels have been reduced to 

 pounds, according to the usual weight of the bushel of such 

 crops, wlien not so reported in pounds by the competitor. 



Table numbered 1 shows the product in pounds from each of 

 the 5 lots and for each year. 



Table numbered 2 shows the aggregate pounds of crop from 

 the 5 different lots and for each year. 



Table numbered 3 shows the details of each competitor's 

 report. 



In these tables the weight of corn stover, and of straw from 

 grain, has been omitted as not essentially necessary for the 

 purposes of these tables. 



It appears by the reports in the tables, tliat the experiments 

 have been carefully made, and that the said reports, as inserted, 

 are equally entitled to a place in the tables. The competitors, 

 by their action and reports, have conferred a great favor, and 

 it may be also a benefit to themselves individually, as well as 

 to all farmers interested in any improved mode of tilling and 

 manuring land. 



The report from Mr. Woodward lias been omitted, for the 

 reason that his crop, in 1860, was destroyed by worms. 



The report from the Treadwell farm is omitted, no return for 

 1860 being made. 



The report of Mr. Belden, of Whately, is in the tables. The 

 crops of 1860 and 1861 were tobacco, and the crop of 1862 was 

 wheat. But Mr. Belden having manured his land in the 

 second year (1861) as he did in 1860, (the manure both years 

 being 313 lbs. of Peruvian guano on each plot,) he is thereby 

 excluded as a competitor for premium under the rules. Inas- 

 much, however, as his practice in the experiment may be 

 interesting, it has been inserted in the tables. 



Attention is called to Mr. Wyman's and Mr. Ware's reports, 

 each cultivating in their own way an additional lot, and which 

 lot is numbered 6 in table No. 1. The lots thus numbered 6 

 are reported as of the same size and quality as their respective 

 lots Nos. 1 to 5 ; but the pounds of crop on these Ko. 6 lots 

 are not carried to tables 2 and 3. 



Mr. Wyman reports that he used on this lot 6 the same
