Benjamin SafforoVs Statement. 



BARLEY. 



The soil was gravelly loam. In 1863, raised grass on the 

 same land, and in 1864, corn, applying twenty-five loads of 

 manure. 



I applied fifteen loads of manure, spreading and plowing 

 it in five or six inches deep; then harrowed. The 15th of 

 May, sowed broadcast with two-rowed barley. Mowed the 

 first week in August, harvesting 53 1-3 bushels, and 1 ton 

 straw.
