REPORT ON GRASS CROPS. ^ 



To the Secretary of the Marshfield Agricultural and Horticul- 

 tural Society : 



The Committee on Hay crop report two entries for premium 

 this year. David S. Jenkins, of Scituate, reports four tons, 

 three hundred and twenty pounds (8320) on one acre, which 

 your Committee think entitles him to the first premium of $8.00. 



John J. Ford, of Scituate, reports on one and one-half acres, 

 9550 lbs. at the first crop, and 3220 lbs. of rowen hay, the first 

 crop being equal to three tons, three hundred and sixty-six and 

 two-thirds pounds, which entitles him to the second premium 

 of $5.00. 



Respectfully submitted, 



HARVEY D. NORTHEY, 



CHAS. O. ELLMS. ' <^o^^^*^^«^-

Statement of David S. Jenkins, of Scituate. 

 The acre of land which I entered for premium was rather 

 heavy land, deep soil. It had been seeded down to grass for 

 three years, and a top dressing of kelp, six to eight cords, 

 applied each year. Two crops each year. The second crop 

 this year about two tons. 



DAVID S. JENKINS, Scituate.
