Marine was first settled some fifteen or six

was one Of its earliest settlers. The first year
he settled there. he broke up and planted u
small piece Of ground. 1t was very sandy, and
was considered second rate land. II was so
unpromising that some laughed at him for at
tempting to raise o crop upon il neverthe.

abundanely, although il had not been well cul-

been cultivated every season since; and al
though it has never been enriched. il yields
largely--in fact, about NJ W, II "a it did sixteen
years ago.
