had five tons thirteen hundred and sixty pounds. I threshed 

 said crop of barley the last of December aad first of January, 

 and measured forty-seven and one-fourth bushels from the 

 same. The lodging of the barley before cutting, together with 

 the trampling and pecking of the fowls, probably destroyed a 

 number of bushels of the crop.

Statement of Spencer Leonard, Jr. 



The acre of land on which I made an experiment in raising 

 barley has a loamy soil, of good quality ; it was planted to 

 corn last year. It was ploughed the last of April, "this year, 

 and on the 10th of May the barley was sown and well harrowed. 

 There were two hundred pounds of Peruvian guano, well mixed 

 with soil and charcoal dust, sown broadcast before the last 

 harrowing ; the ground was then rolled. The barley was cut 

 and housed in July, and the 9th of October it was threshed, and 

 measured thirty-six bushels.
