Joel Hayward's Statement. 



The corn which I ojffer for the Society's premium was 

 raised on one acre of ground ; it being of a deep loam, and 

 inclining towards the east. It was broken up in the fall of 

 1852. In the Spring of 1853 applied twenty-seven loads of 

 compost. Planted to corn, and raised 78 bushels per acre. 

 In the Spring of 1854, May 9th, plowed eight inches deep. 

 May 14th and 15th spread thirteen loads of green manure 

 and plowed ten inches deep. May 17th and 18th furrowed 

 both ways three feet and three inches apart, put thirteen 

 loads of compost in the hill, and planted with the Tuscan 

 white corn, putting four and five kernels to the hill. Hoed 

 twice.
