68 ON CHOPS. J 



four feet by three and a half feet — four cords of rotten 

 manure per acre put in the hills^ and planted about the 

 15th of May — ploughed between the rows twice, and 

 hoed three times ; at the time of the last hoeing, the only 

 object was to destroy the weeds. The stalks were cut 

 about the middle of Septe[nber, and the crop harvested 

 about the 25th of October. Tliere were about three 

 and a half acres of land in the lot planted, one acre of 

 which was measured off, and the following quantity of 

 produce grew upon the lot measured and staked off by 

 the surveyor, viz., 128 bushels of ears when husked, two 

 bushels of which were shelled ; weight of corn, 68 1-2 

 lbs., measured 38 quarts, weight of cobs 18 lbs, weight 

 of whole in the ear Nov. 27, as per certificate of weigh- 

 er, 4700 lbs. There wore eighteen bushels of turnips 

 and 40 bushels of pumpkins grown upon the acre afore- 

 said, in addition to the corn. There were only five bush- 

 els of small ears on the acre. 



ENOCH DOLE. 

 W. Newbury, Dec. 1841. 



I hereby certify that I measured off and put up stakes 

 about one acre of corn on land of Enoch Dole. It was 

 all in one piece, and laid off on the western end of the 

 lot ; at his request, I measured off the acre where 1 

 thought the corn was the best. I consider the crop nearly 

 equal throughout, and think a half acre might have been 

 selected together better than the acre taken would ave- 

 rage. MOSES NEWELL.
