Article I. 



On the Rifey Progrefs, and Mode of Setting 

 Wheat in JSforfolk, 



[By a Gentleman near Norwich.] 



Gentlemen, 



IT is with much pleafure that I now anfwer your 

 enquiries relative to the pradice of Setting 

 Wheat in this county. It is, in my opinion, one 

 of the greateft improvements in Hufbandry that 

 hath taken place this century; and, were it gene- 

 rally adopted throughout the kingdom, would be 

 attended with very great advantages to the publick. 



The Setting of Wheat feems to have been firfl: 

 fuggefted by planting grains in a garden from 

 incre curiofity, by perfons who had no thought or 



opportunity
