STATEMENT CONCERNING A CROP OF RYE RAISED BY 

 J. J. H. GREGORY. IN THE TOWN OF MIDDLETON, 1893. 



Crop of 1891 was sweet corn for seed, manured with 

 stable manure, about 4 cords harrowed in and 500 lbs. of 

 corn fertilizer used in the drill. Crop of IS92 was peas, 

 raised for seed and hence ripened. About 6 cords of 

 manure harrowed in, and 500 lbs. of dissolved bone black 

 used in the drill. Soil, a good loam, somewhat stony, of 

 the drift formation. It was ploughed once for the peas 

 about 7 inches deep, and after peas were removed the same 

 depth for the rye. No manure or commercial fertilizer 

 was used on the rye ; it fed on what was left over from 

 that applied to the pea crop. One bushel of seed was 

 broadcasted by hand and harrowed in.
