JOSEPH GOODRICH'S STATEMENT. 



BARLEY. 



My barley lot contains 205 rods ; is a heavy, clayey 

 loam ; was in grass in I860, without manure ; in corn 

 in 1861, with twenty-five loads of manure ; was plowed 

 the first of May, four and a half bushels seed sown and 

 crossed lightly- mowed and raked August 5th. It 

 was in a young orchard which had been set some twelve 

 years, in rows thirty feet apart, and I think the crop 

 was shortened somewhat by the shade of the trees. 



Cost of plowing and other preparation, .... $5,00 



Seed and sowing, 3 00 



Harvesting, 5 ? 25 



Total, $13,25 



Product, 1940 lbs. barley, weighed November 4th,, 

 and 2000 lbs. straw.
