 Ashby, Sept. 24th, 1853. 



Statement of Samuel Farwell, 2d. 



The ground that this rye grew on, was manured in May, 

 1852, with a fair coat ; I cannot tell how much to the acre. 

 I then sowed on this ground barley, and took the crop off in 

 August, and there has not been any manure put on this 

 ground since then ; in September, on this same ground, I 

 sowed about two and a half bushels of rye. The ground 

 that this rye grew on, measures one and three-fourths acres, 

 by the measure oL the selectmen.
