four parts cow and horse nifinure, which was spread on top 

 after ploughing, at the rate of about eiglit cords to the acre, 

 and laid until spring, and was then ploughed in, the land har- 

 rowed, brushed, raked, and sowed at the rate of four pounds 

 of seed to the acre. Land rather light loam. The crop was 

 hoed six or seven times with a wheel hoe, and weeded three 

 times. 



This half acre was surveyed by J. N. Rolfe, and is a part 

 of a six acre bed, and I think four acres of it produced near- 

 ly as many Onions per acre, as the half acre which I enter 

 for premium. The crop was harvested about September 10th, 

 two loads were weighed by Daniel Lunt, the others were 

 loaded as near as possible, in the same carts, making 307 

 bushels on the half acre.

The crop has been sold at $2.10 per ])urrel, including bar- 

 rel. The above statement is correct, to the best of my knowl- 

 edge.

 having the advantage of a shower just after the seed was 

 put in the ground, came up very uniformly. More or less of 

 transplanting was done up to the latter part of July, but the
