From one measured rod the potatoes weighed 157| lbs., equal to 

 240f bushels per acre. From ten rows twenty-one rods long planted to 

 Burbanks we sold 95^ bushels of large potatoes and 8|^ bushels of 

 small ones. From two rows twenty-one rods long planted to Brigham 

 Seedlings we sold 12^ bushels of large and 2^ bushels of small 

 potatoes. The balance were put in the cellar and were not weighed. 

 The total cost for seed, manure and labor on the half acre was $45.75. 

 The crop sold at the present market price would give a good profit. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 Hadley, Oct. 27, 1881. WEST BROTHERS.
