The Rockefeller fortune to which
the baby will succeed is estimated at

that he believed New York would grow

other things that on similar plots OF
ground firm seed produced a yield OF

but 500 bushels. The experiment
showed that they could have afforded
to pay $l.6S per bushel for the good
seed as well as TO have accepted the
poor seed for nothing. 1t was also
found that for depth In planting four
