From actual measurement I hereby certify that the above 

 crop covered one acre of land and no more. 



Michael W. Bartlett, Surveyor. 



MIDDLESEX SOUTH. 



Statement of S. B. Bird. 



The field of corn which I enter for premium contains two 

 acres ; the soil is a deep sandy loam on a gravelly subsoil. The 

 field has been mowed seven years, and last year produced less 

 than one ton per acre. 



The piece was ploughed between the 18th and 25th of May, 

 seven inches deep. 



Tlie manure from the barn cellar, composed of the droppings 

 of the cattle mixed with peat mud and loam, carted to the cel- 

 lar last autumn, was immediately carted on to the piece and 

 thoroughly harrowed in with a Bucklin harrow ; the field was 

 marked three feet six inches apart each way, and the corn 

 planted the 27th of May. 



Cultivated and hoed three times, and kept entirely clear of 

 weeds. 



Commenced cutting stalks the 18th of August, and continued 

 cutting for nearly a month, as I fed them to my cows directly 

 from the field. Commenced harvesting October 5th.
