 To the gentlemen composing the committee on com and potatoes. 



I hereby certify that on the fourth day of October, at the re- 

 quest of Mr. John Dwinell, I measured a lot of land by Bridge 

 street, in Salem, owned by Messrs. Wait & Peirce, having' 

 thereon potatoes, and staked out one acre, being part of the 

 same lot. JONATHAN P. SAUNDERS,

 Salem, October, 1820. 



We hereby certify that the quantity of potatoes raised this 

 year on the acre of Messrs. Wait & Peirce's land, in Bridge 

 street, which was measured and staked out by Mr. Jonathan P. 

 Saunders, was three hundred and ninety-eight and a half bush-

Statement of the cultivation and produce of an acre of land planted 

 with Potatoes in the year 1820, by Jesse Putnam. 



The land is situated on the eastern side of IngersolPs hill, sa 

 called, in Danvers ; the soil is strong ; it is very full of small 

 and middling sized stones, so as to much impede the ploughing j 

 and a considerable number of stones are so large that it will be 

 necessary to blow them before they can be removed. The 

 land is moist on the part planted with potatoes. 



There is on it a young orchard of apple trees, of different 

 ages, from 12 to 20 years; and there are other apple trees 

 around the lot, which shaded it in many places. The principal 

 object in ploughing was to benefit the tree?.
