twelve bushels. Thirdly: that Osborn was in his debt $111.53 One Hundred Eleven 53/100 Dollars and he had a right to the crop until the debt was paid - Walkers own, and his witnesses testimony shows that Andrew worked some months during the busy time and the balance of the season furnished supplies for the working party, which of course settles the first charge. His own witness says the crop was a fair one for the season and that Osborns share was (14) fourteen wagon loads, it also shows that Osborns party help clear nearly all the new ground and other Evidence shows them to be entitled to half the crop - Osborn was willing to allow Walkers a/c. It is surprising to me that neither Mr. Walker or his man in charge (Mr. Hurdle) know anything about the amount of corn rasied. farmers generally know very nearly how much corn they raise at a crop, especially if it is raised on shares. They would give me no statement as to the amount and I think the fact should go to confirm the evidence of the other party in regard to the amount of crops.
