Edwin D. Work's Statement. 

 CORN. 



The soil is sandy loam. Had oats on the same field in 

 1863, putting on about eight loads of manure. In 1864 had 

 a cross of sorrel with a very little clover ; no manure used. 

 For the present crop, I plowed over, the 23d and 24th of 

 May, seven inches deep, harrowed with a cultivator harrow. 

 I applied twenty-five loads manure, spreading a part and 

 putting the remainder in the hill; also applied fourteen 

 bushels of ashes. 



Planted the 26th of May, by hand, common eight-rowed 

 corn. Cultivated twice with a common cultivator. Value 

 of stover $10.00 Harvested the middle of October.
