Wheat had nearly passed-and consequently cut
only about thirty acres for Inc. The ground was
level, being on the Genesee Flats, though The
surface was somewhat uneven, as it was a piece
turned over last Fall, when put into wheat with
very heavy turf, and many of the sods still re-

averaging about two acres per hour for the time
