ALDRED Newton's statement. 

 To the Committee on Grain Crops : 



Gentlemen, — I offer for premium a crop of rye, fifty-three bush- 

 els, the product of one acre and one hundred and twenty-four rods, 

 as per certificate annexed. The soil in which it grew is a dark 

 sandy loam, with a sandy sub-soil. In the spring of 1844, the land 

 was broken up and planted with potatoes, manured with about sev- 

 en cords of barn and hog-pen manure, spread and harrowed in be- 

 fore planting the potatoes. The yield of potatoes was good, being 

 four hundred and six bushels, and of a good quality. About the 

 middle of December, the land was ploughed and the rye sowed and 

 harrowed ; no manure was put on at the time of sowing the rye. I 

 sowed two bushels of seed. ALDRED NEWTON.
