In some pert: the turnips turned out very badly. All the grain, vegetables,& are entered in this ran as so many hushels to the acre. I find a great difficulty in making the columns 6,7, and R ngree with 5, as in these new townships where they have tut little pasture they will not agree for instrrce, 10 acres cleared end fenced is reedVy for crop, or else part under crop this year and the remFinder to be cropped next spring, but had not half of it under crop last year 1851. Then, although columns 5 and 9 agree yut columns 6,7, and 8 will not agree with 5, the number under cultivation. However, I do my test to keep these as currect as xnssihle and endeavour to make them even . This township is well settled along the lake share but has only a few families as yet in the interior. The greater part of the lots of land on the concession: in the rear are taken up by parties who intend coming on in the spring as Soon Be the nevigntinn Qpnrs. There is no doubt but what this township will doutle in population before next winter. The soil in some (art: along the lakeshore is sandy ané sand mixed with turf, but in other parts of the Township it is n deep lnpm. The Pine River flows through the Huron Township. Hugh Johnston- Enumerator. Mr. Johnston'e prophecy came true, for the next Spring 1852, the whole Lewis Settlement errived from Gslt, Ont. where they srent the winter. Curator.
