themselves with water, there being no
spring on the flat where the town stands,
which flat is sandy loam, easily tilled,
and if well managed would be very
productive; There are 50 or 60 Acres
of land adjoining the town, nearly clea-
red, the most of which is put in yearly
with corn, beans and potatoes.

The work is all done by the women with
hoes, they were very busy while we were there,
much of the land was grown up with grass
weeds & c. they go round the old cornhills,
which were very high, as I have observed
it is the general practice to have a have
hill when finished, near one foot high,
and hoe the grass and weeds clean a-
way; then dig a hole where the hill
stood, and plant in the same place;
Sometime after the corn is come up,
they hoe all the face of the ground over,
