Andover, Oct. 29, 1894. 

 To the Committee on Root Crojys : 



The land on which I raised the crop of carrots which I 

 enter for premium is a light deep loam. The crop of 

 1892 was cabbage, well manured. The crop of 1893 was 

 peas, manured with phosphate, at the rate of 800 lbs. per 

 acre, followed with a crop of barley, ploughed deep in the 

 fall. This spring ploughed twice, and (1500) fifteen 

 hundred lbs. of bone phosphate sowed on the half-acre (no 

 barn manure used) ; harrowed and smoothed with a di-ag .' 

 thickly sown on the 10th of June, at the rate of 3 lbs. to 

 the acre. The seed came up well, and kept green and 

 growing until digging time, with no blight.
