PaysoTi H. Pervitins Statement. 



The land on which my carrots were raised, is a deep sandy- 

 loam. In the spring of 1846, it was planted with corn, about 30 

 loads of stable manure being used to the acre. The product 

 was 60 bushels to the acre. The above land was sowed with 

 carrots the present year, and ^ acre measured off; the produce 

 was 173 bushels, of 56 lbs. each,

 The product of the above field would have been greater, had 

 it not Jpeen for foul seed, mixed with the good, which I sowed : 

 this seed producing large tops, with very small roots.
