Harvey Dodge's Statement. 



The land on which my carrots were grown, the present sea- 

 son, is a deep yellow loam, being upon a clayey soil — condition 

 in the spring of 1845, of the land on which my carrots grew, 

 was grass, had been laid down nine years without manure. 

 Spring of 1845, forty loads of good stable manure, of twenty- 

 five bushel loads to the acre, was spread and turned under : corn 

 was planted — the product was seventy bushels of sound corn, 

 and two hundred and twelve bushels of flat turnips to the acre. 



The land on which my carrots grew, the present season, con- 

 tains forty square rods by measurement, and is a part of the 

 above field.
