THIRD YEAR'S STATEMENT OF BEN J. P. WARE. 



In continuing the experiment on the application of manurOy 

 commenced 1860, May 1st, 1862, I spread upon lot No. 6, at 

 the rate of nine cords per acre, manui'e composted from 

 meadow mud, sea kelp and barn manure, the whole drenched 

 with night soil. I used no manure of any kind upon any of 

 the other lots ; then ploughed the whole eight inches deep*, 

 then harrowed it. 



May 29th cross ploughed eight inches deep ; harrowed and 

 dragged the whole of the lots. 



May 30th sowed Orange carrot seed, at the rate of one 

 pound to the acre. The carrots were truckle-hoed three times, 

 and hand weeded twice, during the season, which kept them 

 clean of weeds. 



November 14th harvested the crop, which resulted as fol- 

 lows : — 



lbs. tons. lbs. 



Lot No. 1 produced 2,715, at the rate of 21, 1,440, per acre*
