Committee by them appointed, to make all necessary repairs 

 upon the buildings and to view the farm ; also, to have the 

 use of one room in the dwelling house for meetings of Society 

 or Committees. 



The Sub-Committee have been pleased with the result of 

 the application to the farm of more than sixty cords of good 

 manure, for a better seven acre field of corn is very seldom 

 seen in this county than we saw there ; also an acre of car- 

 rots, that promised a good yield ; all grown upon the plain 

 land that has previously appeared so barren, proving that, 

 with high culture, corn and carrots may be successfully and 

 easily raised upon that peculiar quality of land. The pota- 

 toes planted upon the same produced but a small crop, owing 

 either to the kind of manure used (1. e., slaughter manure,) 

 or the quality of the land. Future experiments will prob- 

 ably solve the question. 



The appearance of the grass land adjoining the cornfield, 

 and of a similar kind, indicated a very small crop indeed — 

 hardly worth mowing. Some other parts of the farm yielded 

 a better crop of hay, but a small one generally. 



Various kinds of vegetables, such as rutabagas, cabbages, 

 squashes, etc., have been also grown upon the farm this sea- 

 son, with fair success. 



But the Committee wish particularly to call the attention of 

 the Society to the fact that excellent crops of corn and carrots 

 can be raised upon that plain land by good cultivationj and 

 with less labor than is usually required.
