On their small patch of a few inces (a NETHE being one-sixth of an acre), located across the road from the house, beans, maize, and corn were in the process of prouting.

At that time the statistics showed that 13 percent. of the farmers of the State did not Town & foot of the land they cul | Livated--that is to say, they were
