JOSIAH F. TWOMBLY'S STATEMENT. 



The field of rye offered by me for a premium contains one acre 

 and thirty-four rods, and is the same which I planted with corn 

 last year, (less seventeen rods,) a report of which is made to the 

 Society. In October of 1855, after the corn was harvested, the 

 land was ploughed with a horse, and without any additional ma- 

 nure, sown with rye. Several rods of the field, which received 

 the wash from the barn, was very rank, and lodged so much that 

 it produced but very little, if any, grain. The field was harvested 

 about the middle of August, and produced 52 bushels of rye and 

 6050 pounds of straw.
