Balance in favor of farm, 

 HOLYOKE, October, 11, 1800.

Statement of A. L. McKinstry. 



The farm which I enter for the three years' premium, is 

 situated in the town of Chicopee, and contains about sixty acres 

 of land. Of these, twenty-four are in a good state of cultivation. 

 A large portion of the balance is low and wet, producing bog 

 grass. The upland portions from long continued close pasturing 

 are not very productive. Thus much for the present condition 

 of the farm, though perhaps the best index is the amount of 

 the crops raised the present year. 



6 acres grass, 10 tons, (measured) at $12, 



corn, 320 bushels, (measured) at 80 cents, 

 corn stover, 10 tons, (estimated) at $7, 

 potatoes, 328 bushels, sold for 

 rye, 52 bushels, at 80 cents, 

 oats, 60 bushels, at 50 cents, 

 tobacco, 2,000 pounds, (estimated) at 10 cents 

 turnips, 957 bushels, at 10 cents,
