STATEMENT OF CROP OF CABBAGES, RAISED BY DANIEL A. 

 CARLETON, NO. ANDOVER, MASS. 



The half acre of cabbage, entered by me, were raised on 

 a piece of run out grass land, that had had no manure for 

 several years. The soil was a dark shallow loam, with a 

 subsoil so stony, that it was impossible to turn the sod 

 smoothly. About twenty loads of cow manure per acre 

 was plowed under six inches deep, the ground harrowed 

 and Brunswick cabbage seed sown June 15, at the rate of 

 I lbs. per acre, in rows 3^ ft. apart, afterwards the plants 

 were thinned so as to stand li ft. apart in the rows, i ton 

 Cumberland phosphate per acre, was sown in the drill. 

 The piece was hoed three times. There are 3,750 

 cabbages on the half acre ; by cutting and weighing what I 

 consider an average lot, I find that they weigh about six 

 lbs. each, which would give 45,000 lbs. or 450 bbls. per 

 acre, allowing 100 lbs. per bbl.
