Transcription Notes:
I transcribed this as a six column table, since the writer didn't use any of the preprinted columns except for the four with acreage counts, essentially creating his own table within a table. I made the header for the first column the same text as how he named the table. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-04-18 11:34:35
