STATEMENT OE A CROP OF CABBAGE RAISED BY DAVID» 

 WARREN, OF SWAMPSCOTT. 



To the Committee on Root Crops : 



The crop of Stone Mason cabbage, which I enter for' 

 premium, was grown on land that had been in grass some 

 six or seven years previous, no fertilizer or manure had 

 been used on it, during that time. The soil is a dark loam 

 with gravelly sub-soil, ploughed in May, about seven inches 

 deep, stable manure applied by going over twice with 

 Kemp's Spreader, using about eight cords to the acre. 

 Wheel harrowed in with Randall harrow, then dragged- 

 Seed sown with seed sower the eleventh day of June, the 

 rows three feet two inches, and hills two feet apart, using 

 about a pound of seed to the acre. Cultivated twice, tak- 

 ing about three hours each time with man and horse. Hoed 

 twice, no expense for thinning, as the plants were useA 

 by myself and neighbors.
