Sea weeds are much ufed on the eaitern fhore 

 of this county. They are mixed with dung and 

 mould, and after turning feveral times over, fpread 

 on corn land. 



I find you have offered premiums for feveral 

 things in which I have been convcrfant; to wit, 

 hops, madder, and wood for hop-poles of various 

 forts. On each of which articles I can eafily en- 

 large, if required. 



However, under the article of hop-poles I beg 

 leave to mention a fpecies of willow we have, the 

 growth of which is very fit to be encouraged in 

 places like Somerfetfhire; and which, in five years, 

 will make very large poles proper for the purpojfe, 

 as well as gates for fheep -folds on turnips. 



I am, Sir, your humble fervant, 



H. D.
