The Evangelical congregation already had the cherished hope in 1830 to receive a
field from the rulers for which they had waited all too long to be fulfilled.
In the (Vocator?) of the Rev. Josef Skultethy it says: "Should the community
receive one half or a whole Session of field, the pastor will receive half of
it, and the teacher will receive the other half. - Also the Vocator of the Rev.
Ferd. Hamel considered the possibility that the community's pastor's field be
shared.
Yet in 1873 Wilhelm Pratscher, a teacher from Vrbas, was given the benefit of 10
yokes of field.
The negotiations were done and in 1875 even the stakes were placed in the
pastor and choirmaster's fields in the neighborhood of today's orchards.
The pastor should receive 20 yokes of field and the choirmaster should receive
10 yokes of field.
However the political community went with the ruler in the process for
the sake of the division of the Hutweide (meadow) and drew on the shortness of
it. As a result of the delay in the
process, the congregation only received half of the intended grounds.
The pastor's field was to be one session of agricultural field and 6 chains of
Hutweide (pasture) and the choirmaster's field was to be a half session
agricultural land and 3 chains of Hutweide (pasture).
In the books of the congregation we find in 1877 the recording of the occasion
of the measurement of the Hutweide (pasture) that the engineer had measured out
the pastor's field and the choirmaster's field.
The yoke was calculated to be 1200
square fathoms. The pastor received
10 yokes, equal to 12,000 square fathoms, that was 6 chains, of which the
choirmaster received half. It was
extremely important also in 1914 that the congregation have this field honestly
in their name since there were funds allocated for it.
The field lies on Novi Vrbas Road, very near to the community and in the last
few years it has yielded 12 to 20 squares of wheat per chain.
