where the manure was all put in the hill, was greater than the 

 average of the four lots which had the manure spread, by $15, 

 but perhaps the next two years it may be less ; this has been a 

 very wet season, and very favorable to that method of applying it, 

 as it had no chance of baking in the hill, as in dry seasons. 

 Respectfully submitted,

STATEMENTS OF AARON D. WELD. 



Cheever Newiiall, Esq. : 



Dear Sir — I enclose my final report on the " Experiments 

 with jNIanures," first series, by the Norfolk Agricultural Society, 

 and also ray second report for your second series. 



The calculations, in dollars and cents, I have not gone into, as 

 it is not required, as each person can fix his own estimate of the 

 value in making his calculation as to the results. 



I am very respectfully your obedient servant, 



Aaron D. Weld. 



Weld Farm, West Roxbury, Jan. 20, 1864. 



Cheever Newiiall, Esq. : 



Dear Sir — I refer you to my reports, " Experiments on Ma- 

 nures," pages 34, 35, 30, of Transactions for 1861, and pages 

 33 and 34 of Transactions for 1862, for the land, soil and experi- 

 ments of those years, and now submit the final report for 1863. 



The hay on these lots was cut August 10th, dried and weighed 

 as follows : — 



Nos. 4 and 5 contained a large proportion of sorrel, which 

 made them weigh heavier, but the quality of the hay was poor on 

 these two lots, but very good on the remaining lots. • 



Hesult per Acre for Three Years.
