Dear Sir — The turnip field you looked at last week 

 gave 204 bushels. It was tillage land, and was seeded 

 down in 1889. I ploughed June 28th. Used four cords 

 of stable manure in the drill. I sowed one pound of 

 Shamrock July 2d in rows three and one-half feet apart. 

 The financial statement is as follows : — 



Ploughing and harrowing, $5 00 



Four cords of manure, 20 00 



Seed and planting, 2 50 



Labor cultivating, 2 00 



Labor harvesting, 10 00
