REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1891-92 OF THE Farm of the New Jersey Agricultural College. BY BENJAMIN C. SEARS, A.M., SUPERINTENDENT. (107) FARM OF THE NEW JERSEY AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. The farm belonging to the Trustees of the New Jersey State Agricultural College comprises 97.4 acres of land. It is located mostly within the bounds of the city of New Brunswick. It is a mile and a half south from the Pennsylvania Railroad depot on George street, and is reached by way of that street and Nichol avenue, upon the south side of which latter street is the farm entrance. The farm is known to have been occupied since 1717, though less than half of it was in cultivation, and one-third of it was in stumps and young sprouts, having never been cleared, when it was bought by the Trustees in 1864. Since that time it has been entirely cleared and underdrained, and there is now no land on the place which cannot be cropped and cultivated. The farm buildings have been re-arranged and greatly enlarged, and provision made for carrying on the farm operations properly. The two maps of the farm which accompany this report will give a better idea of the farm than can be got from any written description. Map No. 1 shows the topography of the farm and the lines of the ditches. The curved contour lines with numbers on them indicate the elevation of the ground on which they lie, in feet, above the surface of the fish-pond, which latter is about seventy-five feet above mean tide. The farm buildings are also marked on this map: a is a dwelling-house; b a spring-house; c is a farm-house; e is the main barn. Map No. 2 shows the division of the farm into fields, and the crops. grown upon them in the season of 1886. The fields are designated by numbers, and are separated from each other by heavy dotted lines. Subdivisions of the fields are marked by letters a, b, c, d, etc. |
