sured III 10 have been nine hundred ard twenty
five barrels, from about 90 acres OF land. IA"

10 the cultivation OF tobacco; but OF this The sub
scriber knows nothing, but from The observations
OF others, as he is not familiar with the crop;
bnt for corn, oats clover, herdssrass and timothy
he can especially recommend il as superior 10
any land with which he is acquainted-and il
may be remarked, that while il was considera-
blv over an average crop, Jet one year he made
about - bushels OF wheat IL the acre, through The
field
