Farm in October and found an excellent crop of corn being 

 harvested, and by the appearance of the barn there had 

 been good crops ot hay and oats harvested. 



The general appearance of the farm at the time of visits 

 made was satisfactory, with the exception of eradicating 

 wood- wax from the pastures. The terms of the lease have 

 not been complied with in that respect. The death of the 

 lessee, Thos. W. Pierce, may have been the cause of the 

 failure of intended work in the pastures during the Fall. 

 A statement of the crops and amount of manure used on 

 the farm during the year is appended.
