has agreed to take 25 acres more I have arranged with Mr Morical's two brothers to put in what small grain I want sowed I furnishing teams, tools & seed & they have half. They have sowed 6 acres wheat 7 1/2 acres barley & will sow about 45 acres of oats. This makes about 164 acres. The [few] I seeded down between the houses contains 6 acres & the building spots & orchard brings up the amount to 175 acres. The balance that is under cultivation being about 25 to 35 acres Morical's brother says he will take, so you see I shall have the farm off from my hands for a time. Things look hard around there. The men I have on my place are very different from Mr Young's folks. They do not take of care of things at all as youngs folks did. The cattle look very badly
