STATEMENT OF GEORGE DICKINSON. 



The land on which this crop was produced, comprises four acres 

 and seventy rods of my home lot in Hadley. I have planted near- 

 ly ten acres of it, for the past four or five years. The remainder 

 has been in mowing, and a part, perhaps, was never before plowed. 

 The turf was plowed in the fall of 1852, and the remainder in the 

 spring of 1853. I applied fifty eight loads of manure, harrowed in, 

 and planted the last of May. In consequence of a failure of the 

 seed, on a part of it, — I planted over, the 6th of June. I cultivated 

 with a horse and hoed three times. The broom bru.sh was cut, and 

 housed the first and second weeks in October, As I have been, as 

 yet, unable to scrape it all, I cannot state certainly the full amount 

 of the crop, but can estimate it very nearly.
