LUTHER PAGKS STATEMENT, 



SPRING WHEAT. 



The crop on this land in 186G was grass ; no dressing used. This 

 year the crop was spring wheat. The soil is yellow loam with rough 

 clay bottom. I broke up from five to six inches deep the last of Sept° ; 

 spread fifteen loads of manure from the barn cellar upon the soil ; har- 

 rowed it well. The last of May I sowed two bushels of wheat which 

 came from Canada, the name of which I do not know ; it makes nice 

 bread. I harrowed it in well, and rolled it ; commenced to cut and 

 stook about August 1st. Raised 1| tons straw valued at $14. The 

 piece of land on which my wheat grew contains 160 square rods. 

 Cost of seed and sowing, $7 50
