of labor that would have been necessary to put in full crops of wheat and oats, and by reducing the amount of labor that would have been necessary to harvest full crops of wheat and oats, the amount of labor would have been small in proportion to the number of hands, if they had put in 1200 acres of corn and tended it well and harvested it.  And another important item in the evidence is that Dr Holt had great trouble in getting his harvesting and threshing done at all, owing to the refusal of the plaintiffs to work, and it is still further in proof that he was compelled to hire white labor to put in the small crop of wheat he sowed and to help harvest and save the insignificantly small crop of corn he raised.  These facts are all in proof, and they are important facts in the consideration of this case. - Let us make some calculations about the matter.  It is in proof by a number of witnesses that 20 bushels of corn to the acre is about an everage yield in the neighborhood of Dr Holt's plantation.  Now if these 60 field hands had raised an average crop of 1200 acres they would have made Dr Holt 24,000 bushels of corn.  But instead of making that quantity, the highest estimate that can be placed upon the amount they did raise, (and which they refused to harvest,) is 2800 bushels, leaving a balance of 21,200 bushels that they ought to have raised and that they could have raised easily, without doing anything more than common work.  Had they done their duty and worked well and made a full crop and then have received one third of the crop for their compensation, they would have received 8,000 bushels, leaving for Dr Holt
