I have now an acre and a half in bearded wheat, half an acre in maize, and a small kitchen garden.

On my wheat land I sowed three bushels of seed, the produce of this country, broad cast.

I expect to reap about twelve or thirteen bushels.

I know nothing of the cultivation of maize, and cannot therefore guess so well at what I am likely to gather.

I sowed part of my wheat in May, and part in June.
