INGALLS KITT hedge's STATEMENT. 



To the Committee on Grain Crojis : 



Gextlemen, — I herein enclose a certificate from A. N. Clark, of 

 the quantity of land, also a certificate from Stephen Cree and James 

 Leon, of the corn that grew thereon. I also send a couple of ears 

 for a sample of the corn. The piece of land is bounded on Chap- 

 man street, about four hundred feet west of my house, where I 

 now live, which being high gravelly land, had not been under any 

 cultivation except for a cow pasture for over forty years, to my 

 knowledge. Last fall I carted on to it about fifty horse cart loads 

 of brick lime and ashes from the ruins of my house, spread on about 

 one half of the same, and the residue mixed with about three cords 

 of manure. On the 26th of last April, I had the land ploughed 

 and harrowed, which took about one day of tAvo hands and a light 

 team. From the 7th to 10th of May, it was furrowed, manured 

 with the above named compost, and planted about four feet apart. 

 From the last of May to the last of July, the ground was hoed over 

 three times without much hill. On the 17th day of October, gath- 

 ered ; on the 21st and 22d, husked ; and measured it on the 23d, 

 as you will see by the certificate.

 rows of potatoes around the field, lefi; one hundred and fifty-one 

 square rods, or an acre less nine rods, of said field, planted with
