GRAIN CROPS. 



119 



cartloads of common barnyard manure upon the lot. In 1866, 

 it was again planted with corn and potatoes, with the same 

 quantity of manure. The crop each season was excellent. In 

 April, 1867, it was ploughed to a depth of seven inches, and 

 sowed with oats (upon the furrow,) and then harrowed twice. 

 The crop measured one hundred and sixty-four bushels of good 

 oats, thirty-two pounds per bushel and several bushels of a 

 lighter quality. No manure was used in 1867. The amount 

 of seed used was ten bushels, one bushel of which was Delaware 

 oats, which rusted badly, grew rank and lodged, and were 

 otherwise very much damaged by a flock of thirty hens and 

 turkeys. 



From actual measurement, I hereby certify that the land 

 which the above crop of oats covered, contained three acres 

 and forty-one rods, and no more.
