STATEMENT OP CHAS. C. BLUNT. 



The soil is a gravelly loam with a gravelly subsoil. The 

 crop of 1878 was Hungarian grass without manure. After the 

 Hungarian was cut it was ploughed eight inches deep and laid 

 until the next spring. In 1879, it was again ploughed 10 

 inches deep, and 8 cords of manure to the acre spread, and 

 planted to potatoes, manure valued at $4.50 per cord ; after 

 the potatoes were harvested it was harrowed without being 

 plouglied again, and 400 lbs. of Russell Coe's Superphosphate 

 applied. Cost, 18.00
