BARNSTABLE SOCIETY. 549 



Naaman Dillingham^s Statement. 

 The barley which I offer for premium was raised on ninety 

 rods of land. The soil a light loam. It was planted with 

 corn and potatoes last year, with a good dressing of barnyard 

 manure. Last spring spread five loads of compost manure, 

 and ploughed in. Sowed one and a half bushels of barley on 

 the 23d day of April, and harrowed it in. The product was 

 twenty bushels. It is a good substitute for corn, in fattening 

 poultry and pork.

James B. Crocker^s Statement. 

 The beans on which I claim a premium were grown on a 

 piece of land measuring seventy-one rods. The soil is a light 

 loam, and the land valued at fifty dollars. Corn was raised on 

 the land last year. Early in June last, six loads of manure 

 was spread on the land, and ploughed in and harrowed. The 

 beans were then planted in hills fifteen inches apart. They 

 received only one hoeing ; at the time of the second, they were 

 so thick as to prevent hoeing without injury to the vines. The 

 beaiiv, „^:e harvested in the latter part of September, and the 

 product was twelve bushels in measure, weighing sixty-five 

 pounds to the bushel, making 13 bushels at 60 pounds to the 

 bushel.
