wheat. 



Di:ghuyi:sgi's wheat 1 full one, the second not 



quite full. 

 I owe Do:yani:da for 3 full bushel-buckets, and also Gu:dagi:sgi 

 for a total of 3 full ones; Ts{i)sgili for 1; Di:gahl{u)ghivade:gi for 1; 

 Ga:gama for IK; Do:tsu:le?hnv for Iji; U:wa^nv for Iji; Di:ghuyi:sgi 

 1%; Gawo:hilo:sgi for 2. 

 For working in this wheat that I planted, I paid $9.25. 



COMMENTARY 



In writing of the Gadu:g{i) Starr (1898, p. 144) states: "They 

 work them [the fields] in companies of ten or twelve persons: such 

 companies are found to work the fields of each other in order." 

 Ino:li's memorandum supplies some details. 



Ino:li's bookkeeping is seldom without elements of mystery. 

 Since the Cherokee used here for the unfilled containers is "not quite 

 full," one wonders how he arrived at a uniform "one-third" for all. 

 Perhaps such a reckoning was customary. But then one notices 

 that Gawo:hilo:sgi is credited with "one bushel" above, "two" 

 below. 



Mooney labeled this: "Report of Company — Cutting Wheat."
