As to fields, there is only the one which has been mentioned; another one similar in its smallness that Nicolás Zamora has opened next to this town; the one that the mission has opened at a distance of about six leagues in which a little more than six measures of planted corn should fit; up to now they have not been able to make a judgement of how much each measure will produce since the plantings they have made have not come to fruition, some years because of the lack of seasonal rains and others because of the abundance of them with which they have become "aguachinado" for which reason, and also that these settlers are not normally inclined to farming, they have not applied themselves to opening more fields although the land is suitable for it when the weather cooperates." ---------- REFERENCE ---------- Leal, Guillermo Garmendia.
