STATEMENT OF A CROP OF MANGOLD WURTZELS, RAISED 

 BY FRED STULTZ, WEST NEWBURY. 



The piece of ^Mangold AVurtzels which I enter for jire- 

 mium contains one-half acre, with land of sandy loam. 



This is the third year it has been in beets. 



In tlie fall of 1895, six cords of manure was spread broad- 

 cast, and ploughed in about four inches deep.
