[CERTIFIOATE.] 



Middleton, Mv., 1877. 



I hereby certify that the 202 bushels of Comptoii Corn en- 

 tered by Mr. Gregory, grew on one acre of land, as measured 



by me.

By actual measurement the field contained four acres, or so 

 near that as to authorize it being so called. This land 

 has not had any manuring for at least seven years, and was 

 so demoralized that less than one ton of hay was cut on it in 

 1876. This last fact led the writer to break it up and sow 

 rye. The statement shows a net profit of $46.93. This 

 would be a handsome per cent, on investment, (and is,) but 

 should be carried on more largely. 



Hoping to hear from you soon, and in proper time, I am 



Yours, E. P. Robinson.
