STATEMENT OF KENT & MAKSH, ONION CROP. 



I submit the following statement of crop of onions en- 

 tered for premium. It contains eighty-one rods, is a sandy 

 loam, and on high ground. Has been under cultivation 

 six years, the last three in onions, except about twenty rods 

 which is the first crop of onions, has been manured the 

 same, with four cords of stable manure the past three years. 

 Was manured and ploughed last fall and ploughed again in 

 April. Was sown with 2 1-4 lbs. of Danvers Yellow 

 Globe Onion seed, April 18th, was hoed five times and 

 weeded four. The new part of the bed was badly eaten by 

 cut worm and maggot, taking fully one half of crop. Har- 

 vested from the piece, four hundred and ten and three-fifths 

 bush. (410 3-5). I measured five rods on the old bed and 

 the result was thirty-six bush.
