Produce, 1700 lbs. barley, weighed October 4 ; and 

 II tons of straw. 



The crop was, during its growth, a very promising 

 one, but just as it headed there came a rain, accom- 

 panied with wind, which beat it down so that it never 

 recovered, consequently much of it did not mature. I 

 think the crop was made one-third less by this accident, 

 if so it may be called. 



ALONZO P. GOODRIDGE'S STATEMENT. 



WHITE BEANS. 



The eighth acre on which my beans grew, is a sandy 

 loam. The crop of 1858 was turnips, with two loads 

 compost; that of 1859, corn, with two loads stable 

 manure. It was plowed once in May and once in June, 

 six inches deep ; furrowed ; manured with one load, 

 spread in the drills ; planted June 14, in drills two feet 

 apart with three pints pea beans ; hoed three times, and 

 harvested September 1st.
