'The market-grounds are mostly ready, but there's another thing we must do first. There will be many small hobbit-children who come to the market, and they love to wander the farm.

'The thing they like seeing most, after the animals, are the scarecrows in the field. I haven't had time to put them out yet this year.

'You can find the scarecrows behind a farm-house to the east. If you could gather them up and place them in the fields, the children would be delighted.'

The scarecrows should be placed in the fields around the Northcotton Farm.

The hobbit-children will delight in seeing the scarecrows in the fields.
