STATEMENT OF JAMES OOMINS OF 

 HADLEY, ON CORN. 



The land the crop was planted on had been in grass two years. It 

 was dressed with five cords of coarse cornstalk manure the last of 

 April and plowed under with the turf. It laid until the twelfth of 

 May when it was fitted with a wheel harrow, marked 3h feet between 

 the rows, furrowed, and five cords of hog manure applied in the rows 

 the whole length, and it was planted the fifteenth of May with Bil- 

 lings' corn planter, which drops the hills about four feet apart. 

 Carefully hoed ; replanted whenever needed and thinned out to four 

 stalks in a hill.
