SUMMARY
1. If the leaves of a fruit tree sprouted before the Shtei ha'Lechem of Shavuos were offered, there is a doubt about whether the fruit may be brought as Bikurim.
2. If grain took root before the offering of the Omer, and the seed was harvested and replanted and was still in the ground at the time the Omer was offered, there is a doubt about whether it may be taken out from the ground and eaten.
3. If a person is defrauded of an item that is measured, weighed, or counted, even if the amount of the fraud was less than a sixth the transaction is annulled.
4. A person was hired to plant a field. He claims that he planted a sufficient amount of seeds. Witnesses testify that he did not plant a sufficient amount of seeds. There is a doubt about whether the laws of Ona'ah apply.
5. If one intends to eat the wheat or barley found in the dung of animals, it is not Metamei Tum'as Ochlin. If one picks it out of the dung in order to eat it, it is Metamei Tum'as Ochlin.
6. Wheat or barley found in the dung of animals may not be used for Menachos. If it was replanted, there is a doubt about whether the grain which grows from it may be used for Menachos.
7. If an elephant swallows a Tamei wicket basket and subsequently excretes it, the basket retains its Tum'ah.
8. If an elephant swallows reeds and excretes them, and one makes a basket out of them, there is a doubt about whether the basket is susceptible to Tum'ah.
9. Two wolves swallowed two children. The Chachamim were Metaher the flesh and Metamei the bones.
10. If wheat descends with the rain in Eretz Yisrael, there is a doubt about whether the wheat may be used for the Shtei ha'Lechem of Shavuos.
11. A stalk of grain reached a third of its growth and was pulled out of the ground before the Minchas ha'Omer was offered. It was replanted afterwards and it grew. There is a doubt about whether it is permitted before next year's Minchas ha'Omer.
12. If a branch with fruit of Orlah attached to it was grafted onto an old tree, or if an onion was planted in a vineyard and the grapevines were uprooted, even if the fruit or the onion grew 200 times its original size, it is forbidden.

A BIT MORE
1. There is a doubt about whether the sprouting of the leaves of a tree is compared to grain that took root before the offering of the Minchas ha'Omer, which is permitted.
2. There is a doubt about whether the Minchas ha'Omer permits it to be eaten as if it was placed in a pot, or whether it is nullified in the ground and is not permitted until the following year's Omer.
3. Since the person measured, weighed, or counted the item, he demonstrated that he was particular about the exact amount. Therefore, even if he is defrauded only slightly, it is a Mekach Ta'us and the money or item must be returned.
4. The laws of Ona'ah do not apply to land. There is a doubt about whether the laws of Ona'ah apply to the seeds, such that if he planted a sixth less than he should have, it is regarded as Ona'ah. Perhaps, however, the seeds are nullified to the land, and since the laws of Ona'ah do not apply to land, even if he planted a sixth less than he should have, there is no Ona'ah.
5. It is not considered fit for consumption, but if one picked it out to eat it, it is considered fit for consumption and is Metamei Tum'as Ochlin.
6. Perhaps the only reason why it may not be used for Menachos is that it is disgusting. When it is replanted, the grain which grows from it is not disgusting and may be used. Alternatively, perhaps the reason why it may not be used is that it is inferior produce. Accordingly, even when it is replanted, the grain which grows from it is inferior and may not be used for Menachos.
7. A utensil can become susceptible to Tum'ah by means of a Machshavah. Once it becomes Tamei, it does not lose its Tum'ah until one breaks the utensil. Since no one broke the wicker basket, it remains Tamei.
8. Utensils made of dung are not susceptible to Tum'ah. There is a doubt about whether the reeds are regarded as dung.
9. The flesh is very soft and therefore is regarded as dung, while the bones are very hard and are not regarded as dung. Reeds, however, are somewhat soft, and thus there is a doubt about whether they are regarded as dung.
10. The Torah states that the Shtei ha'Lechem must come from "Moshvoseichem." There is a doubt about whether this excludes only wheat which was picked in Chutz la'Aretz, or it excludes also wheat which descended from the clouds.
11. The doubt is whether the stalk became permitted by the Omer before it was replanted, and it remains permitted even though it grew more after the Omer, or whether the entire stalk is forbidden because of the portion which grew after the Omer.
12. Orlah and Kil'ei ha'Kerem are nullified with one part in 200. Nevertheless, since the original fruit or onion was Orlah or Kil'ei ha'Kerem it remains forbidden even though it grew 200 times its original size. However, there is a doubt about whether it is definitely forbidden, or it is forbidden because of a doubt, and therefore there is a doubt about whether the stalk of grain in the previous case is permitted.
