STATEMENT OF WILLIAM K. COLK. 



The crop of blackberries I enter for the society's pre- 

 mium, is an old plantation, and for the past two years has 

 had no work done upon it, except cutting out old canes, 

 and the application of commercial fertilizer, so that, while 

 the crop was comparatively small, the small expense of 

 raising it, makes it a fairly profitable crop, which would 

 have made a much better showing had it not been for a 

 blight which ruined nearly all of the late berries, the patch 

 contained thirty-six rods. Variety, Agawam.
