The corn was planted the first week in June. The 



manure used was wholly commercial fertilizer. As the 



corn came somewhat irregular, I hardly dared use the 



Thomas harrow as I usually do ; hence it required more 



hand hoeing than usual. As to the market value of the 



crop, I should put the corn at 75 cts. per bushel, and the 



fodder on the ground at $8 per ton. As the fodder is not 



at this date fully dry, I think it might be assumed to be, 



when in a dry state, at five tons. This would make the 



entire value of the crop, 1*116.

 This is to certify that I this day measured a piece of 

 Longfellow corn on the farm of J. J. H. Gregory at Mid- 

 dleton and that said piece contained 60,625 square feet.

This is to certify that I weighed three average stocks of 

 corn stalks of a lot of 154 stocks, contained on the above 

 area, and the average weight per stock was one hundred 

 and three pounds. Also that I weighed four heaped 

 bushels of ears of corn from the above piece, and the 

 average weight was 44 3-4 lbs. Also that I measured and 

 superintended the measure of all the bushels contained on 

 the piece and the number was 236 bushels.
