ford, Woodbridge, and Saxmundham, has, I ap- 

 prehend, to this day, more carrots in it than all 

 the rcil of the kingdom put together;* — a (hiking 

 inilance of the locality of practices in agriculture, 

 and of that extreme tardinefs with which any 

 particular branch of cultivation moves from one 

 place to another. 



In the fummer of 1779, I examined that coun- 

 try with a Ruflian gentleman, to whom I had the 

 plcafure of explaining the admirable management 

 of thofe fand farmers; and it was with much fa- 

 ri.a'a&ion that I found the culture of carrots 

 rather increafing amongft them than the contrary, 

 which I took the more notice of, as I had viewed 

 it ten years before. One farmer had 36 acres, 

 many of them from 10 to 20, few lefs than 5 or 

 6, and fcarccly one that was without any. The 

 (trait, handfome, clean roots are fold at 6d. a 

 bufliel to London, and all the reft ufed upon the 

 farm, chiefly for feeding the teams of horfes, at an 

 allowance of a buihel per horfe per day. Thefe 

 horfes are of the fined cart breed, perhaps, in the 

 world, do heavy work, and never have any oats 

 allowed them when at carrots. 



* Perhaps the quantity of carrots raifed in the neighbourhood of 

 Chard, and brought to that market, may be nearly equal, and the 

 . fuperior in quality.
