STATEMENT OF C. K. ORDWAY & SON, CORN CROP. 



This corn was raised on land that has been in grass for 

 14 years and received no manure, or fertilizer during that 

 time. Plowed the first week in May ten inches deep, and 

 applied six cords of barn-yard manure spread broadcast, 

 and harrowed with Randall Harrow, smoothed with a 

 grain drag, marked three and one half feet each way, 

 planted with a hand planter, May 22, with eight quarts 

 of corn, of my own raising. 



There was no fertilizer used on the corn. 



The corn looked very well when the committee saw it. 

 Later the high wind and storm broke it down, and dam- 

 aged the crop very much. 



The pleasant fall weather has ripened the corn well. 



The corn was harvested Oct. 21 and 25.
