cost of planting, and seed, |5 ; cost of cultivating, $5. The 

 stover will more than repay the cost of harvesting and husk- 

 ing. I had the three rows, designated by the committee, 

 husked and weighed. The weight of corn in the ear was five 

 hundred and one-half pounds. Thirty-seven rows of the same 

 length make one acre. Allowing 70 pounds in the ear to make 

 a bushel, I had over 88 bushels to the acre of shelled corn at 

 80 cents per bushel, which amounts to $70,40. 



Profit, $42.40 



This certifies that I surveyed the acre of land on which the 

 above crop was grown. Philip D. Adams. 



I hereby certify that I husked and weighed the three rows
