of which about 90 were merchantable. The crop was harvest- 

 ed the first week of September, the land ploughed and sowed 

 at once to Winter Rye with one bushel of seed. 400 lbs. of 

 Crocker's ammoniated bone phosphate spread on the ground 

 and smoothed over. 



The crop looked finely all the spring and early summer, till 

 the heavy showers of the 4th and 5th of July, which lodged 

 it badly, and when your committee visited it, on July 12th, 

 much of it was down, and no doubt the crop was somewhat 

 diminished on that account. 



The crop was reaped July 18th, and put in the barn July 

 21st, and weighed 7265 lbs. Thrashed and winnowed, Sept. 

 29th, and weighed the grain. Had 2550 lbs. of Rye, of fine 

 quality, or 45 bushels and 30 lbs., being at the rate of over 57 

 bushels, per acre, and at least two tons of straw.
