& when made clean harrow the ground several
times over, then they plant & tend the
corn with a hoe, never putting a
plow in the ground; when the corn
comes off in the fall, they again har-
row the ground several times, & then
sow it with wheat & timothy seed, &
often times some clover, & when the
wheat comes off, mow it for several years
by that time many of the roots are rotten,
they then plow & farm it as suits best.
