day of June, 1914, the plaintiff, Er-
win Zeysing, attended to the business
of renting said land and collecting
the rent for the said Mary Jane Fey

decline in productiveness and value

causing hollows and draws therein

ed and made more productive and
the value thereof was materially and

this behalf were and are reasonably
worth the sum Of five hundred dollars
and that plaintiffs ask that the said
sum of five hundred dollars which is
alleged to be the reasonable value of
the services Of the said Erwin ley
sing in improving said land, as afore-
said, be paid to the said Erwin

the proceeds of the sale Of said land
