do hereby certify, that have planted crop
OF Indian Corn in ield this year, under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Ha. the farmer, and TO the best of
my knowledge and belief, will have l2o times
more corn this year than ! had last wear upon the
same ground, cultivated in the old wav NV
crop ofcom can be justly ranked and compared
With any river low ground in the county, nstvith
star.iing mine is high ground and az poor AZ any
IN the state. This corn is raised without ploughs
or teams, which mus add much TO the utility Of
the plan. The land viii improve under the cul-
hvation, although cultivated each anil every wear
l am confident that one hand can raise 200 barrels
OF Indian corn on the most unproductive fields,
without Ploughs or team cultivation.
