using the small or medium size, taken from the pile put in, 

 iu the Fall, for market ; about twelve or fourteen bushels per 

 acre, stt an estimated cost of twelve dollars per acre, for seed 

 and planting. They were planted in rows three feet apart, 

 and three feet between hills. The cultivator was passed be- 

 tween the rows before the potatoes came up ; after they came 

 up they were cultivated and hoed twice, at a cost of six dol- 

 lars per acre. They were harvested the latter part of Sep- 

 tember, at a cost of eight dollars per acre. 



Remavhs. — A part of this piece was planted with one po- 

 tato, of small or medium size, in a hill, and a part with a 

 large potato, cut in two, with one piece to a hill. Where 

 the whole potato was planted, the appearance for the first part 

 of the season was much more forward than where the piece 

 was planted, and I think that a good start in the Spring has 

 much to do with the crop late in the season, and the harvest- 

 ing of this crop goes far to confirm this opinion.

This certifies that I have measured a piece of ground on 

 which the above crop was grown, and there were ninety -four 

 rods in said piece.

I hereby certify that I measured the potatoes grown on the 

 before-mentioned piece of land, and there were one hundred 

 sixty-four and one-half bushels, of sixty lbs. to the bushel, 

 of merchantable potatoes.
