No allowance made for interest on laud, as many cart- 

 loads of leaves were used to feed to stock. 



This certifies that I have measured the piece of ground 

 on which was raised the crop of cabbage by F. A. Rus-

STATEMENT OF A CROP OF PARSNIPS RAISED BY FRED A. 



RUSSELL. 



In 1895 the field was in grass. In June the grass was 

 cut, the piece was ploughed, and planted to squash. In 

 1896 the crop was cabbage. In 1897 there were eight two- 

 horse cartloads of manure from the barn cellar applied 

 and ploughed in. The piece was then harrowed and 

 smoothed and sowed with two pounds of Hollow Crown 

 parsnip seed.
