The larger estate, owned by a Belgian Company under the name of Counts Piotr and Jerzy Kanicki in Belgium, has 250 m\u00f3rgs [Gerald Ortell\u2019s book on Polish Parish Records states that in Galicia 1 morg = 1.422 acres] of arable land, 54 m\u00f3rgs of meadows and gardens, 223 m\u00f3rgs of pastures, and 842 m\u00f3rgs of forest; the smaller estate has 1136 m\u00f3rgs of arable land, 126 m\u00f3rgs of meadows and gardens, 546 m\u00f3rgs of pastures, and 20 m\u00f3rgs of forest.
