 expended in the formation of the grain." On the 6th of Oct., 

 the supervisor selected and measured two square rods, adjoining, 

 one on the land sub-soiled, the other on the land not sub-soiled. 

 It was immediately cut up, and husked and weighed, and, by 

 the statement of the supervisor, the land sub-soiled yielded forty- 

 five pounds to the rod, making ninety-six bushels to the acre. 

 The part not sub-soiled yielded thirty and one half pounds, 

 making 65 5-75 bush, per acre.
