WHEAT—STATEMENT OF LUTHER LANDON. 
The wheat reported by me, in pursuance of the entry made 
June 1st, 1859, and in compliance with the regulations of the 
Society, was grown on ground from which a crop of corn had 
been harvested the previous year. The plowing was thorough, 
though but once, and eight inches' deep. The seed was well 
washed in brine, limed, and vitrioled, and was sown in the 
quantity of two bushels to the acre. 
The following is a true account of the expenses of cultiva¬ 
tion:

the last seven in carrots. Been enriched each year with ten to 
fifteen ordinary loads of well rotted barn-yard manure to the 
acre.
