Attention is called to the fact that from the time (July 21) 

 it was put in the barn, to the time it was threshed, a space of 

 thirty-five days, it shrunk 445 pounds, which is deducted in 

 making up the estimate of profit. 



STATEMENT OF NATHANIEL LITTLE, JR. 



The crop of wheat which I offer for premium, was raised on 

 one acre of ground, and weighed 2291 lbs.; a crop of onions 

 was raised on the land in 1880, and in 1881 one half was to 

 onions and the other half to potatoes, with the ordinary culti- 

 vation of about 20 loads of manure to the acre. No manure 

 used in 1882. 



It is due in justice to the crop, to say, that by estimation 

 there was one bushel, or more, contributed to various parties 

 for sesthetical purposes ; and owing to a delay in threshing, a 

 like quantity to the rats and mice, for more practical uses. 



This will certify that I weighed the above wheat, and that 

 the above figures, 2291 lbs., are correct.
