This corn was planted in drills, about three feet apart, and 

 in the drills about ten inches apart. The manure was spread 

 broad cast, and ploughed in ; it was hoed but twice. Planted 

 with yellow corn, known here as the " Worcester County 

 Corn," as I formerly procured this kind of corn from Mendon, 

 in that county; planted a part the 10th of May, and the 

 remainder the 15th. This corn has all been shelled and 

 measured since the first of December. It measures 55^^ 

 bushels.
