In 1891 I raised a crop of peas and a crop of barley^ 

 putting on plenty of barn manure each time. In May,. 

 1892, set out strawberry plants, Crescent and Downing, 

 the rows being 3^ feet apart, and plants one foot apart in 

 the rows. I kept the weeds out clean, and allowed run- 

 ners to cover the ground. June 19, 1893, commenced 

 picking the berries, and finished July 12.

I hereby certify that I measured the land on which 

 grew the crop of strawberries entered by Benj. W. Far- 

 num, for premium, and find it contains one eighth of an acre.
