Cost of selling and freight to Newark, 37 00 



Interest on the value of lands $200 per acre, 15 00 



$154 00 

 Product, 1,233 bushels of carrots which I sell readily ' 



at New-York in quantities, for horse feed, at 37^ 



, cents, $462 37 



Cost as above, 1 54 00 



$208 37 



They were sowed the 1st of June, and gathered from the 10th 

 to the 14th of November, and the product was much reduced by 

 the grassliopper eating and destroying parts of rows when they 

 first came up. We measured the product of one square rod, in 

 the middle of the field, and it yielded at the rate of 1,330 bushels 

 to the acre. There is no difficulty in rasing 1,000 bushels to the 

 acre on first rate land, well manured and tilled. 



The price is better this year than usual, on account of the scarci- 

 ty of hay. The land, I suppose, is in much better condition than, 

 it was before the crop was placed on it. 



A fair estimate of expense is $100 per acre for high manuring 

 and good tilling, and then with good land the probable product 

 would be 1,000 bushels at 20 cents, $200, leaving a profit of $100 

 per acre ; and when I put the value at 20 cents per bushel, I mean 

 the value to the farmer himself, for the purpose of li^eding cows, 

 horses, and fattening cattle. 



Yours respectfully, 



JAMES J. SCOFIELD. 



Your committee unanimously recommend that a premium of 

 a silver cup be awarded to Mr. Scofield for the best orchard of
