I hereby certify that the land on which the crop of rye 

 for premiums was raised, was measured by me, and con- 

 tained 49,200 squaie feet; that the grain from it by the 

 standard of weight lequired by the rules of the Essex 

 Agricultural Society was 47 bushels, and the straw weighed 

 4405 lbs. which would be at the rate of 41 7-9 bushels of 

 rye and 8936 lbs. of straw per acre.
