WILLIAM J. CLIFFORD. 



Joel Hayward's Statement. 

 The crop of Carrots which J offer for premium was 7166 

 pounds, grown upon twenty-one square rods of ground, 

 making the amount grown upon an average square rod 

 341 4-21 lbs., making 124 bushels of 55 pounds to the eighth 

 or 992 bushels to the acre. The ground had been in grass 

 five years previous to the fall of 1854, when it was broken 

 up with a double Michigan plough, 8 inches deep. In May, 

 1855, spread 4 loads of green manure from my barn cellar and 

 ploughed it in 12 inches deep ; then spread 20 loads of com- 

 post and harrowed it in ; then bushed and sowed the 19th of 

 May, in rows 14 inches apart, hoed three times and thinned 

 from 2 to 3 inches apart. I have never raised the same 

 amount of carrots with the same labor. Expense of crop : —
