Statement of Samuel S. Pratt. 



I hereby certify that Andrew H. Hall measured and marked 

 off in my field of corn one acre. It was greensward in the 

 fall and produced about one thousand pounds of hay. I ploughed 

 the last of November. Three cords of horse manure, put in 

 heaps, was spread the last of April and ploughed in, then fur- 

 rowed about three feet eight inches each way. Put about two 

 cords of well-mixed hog and privy manure, with loam, in the 

 lull. I planted the yellow, top-over corn, five kernels in a hill, 

 about the 15th of May. Hoed twice; used a cultivator; har- 

 vested the 12th of October. Andrew H. Hall cut up one rod; 

 husked, and counted the ears the 10th of October; dried and 

 shelled in December. Measured seventy-seven and one-half 

 bushels per acre.
