feet right to all that land produces
whether 1t is grass. trees or berries.
There are some large tracts of I'M

years. berries in abundance. There are
other tracts enclosed, and near to
dwellings, where the resident families
pick the berries for profit and home
consumption. and if the owners of
such land object to other people TAX
ing the products Of such land without
permission, they are met with abuse
and called mean. Now. most any
farmer near a market finds a berry
patch the most profitable part of the
farm. II these people who claim the

please would help us pay our taxes we
