In 1893 it was in potatoes with a light dressing of manure. 



In 1894 the crop was Mangold Wurtzels with five cords 

 of manure. 



In 1895 five cords of manure was spread broadcast, 

 ploughed in about four inches deep, and harrowed. 



Ploughed again eight inches deep, harrowed and leveled. 

 Sowed the seed in drills, twenty-eight inches apart, with 

 an onion seed sower. I used two pounds of seed. Giant 

 Ovoid, Intermediate Yellow, Norbiton Giant, in equal 

 parts. I prefer the Intermediate Yellow as smoother, and 

 easier cleaned. The entire crop was reduced this year by 

 the dry weather of September.
