Acre of fifteen feet to the perch, (which I take to 

 be the faireft way) the produce would be five hun- 

 dred pecks*, which, at the then current price, 

 amounts to thirty-three pounds fix ihillings and 

 eight- pence. An ample encouragement for trying 

 this method on a larger fcale ! 



I am, &c.

[We are obliged to this as well as the reft of our 

 correfpondents, for communicating accounts of ex- 

 periments, and making calculations thereon; but 

 muft beg leave to obferve, that the advantages 

 arifing from any experiments made on zjmalljcaky 

 will not be proportionably great, when that fcale is 

 confiderably enlarged. In the inftance before us, 

 we doubt not the truth of the account given : the 

 calculation is right, and the profit obvious : but we 

 cannot think that the produce of an acre (much lefs 

 of a larger quantity) would fell for the fum men- 

 tioned. An additional quantity of five or fix hun« 

 dred pecks of green peafe, at the time they are 

 fold at fixteen-pence a peck, would immediately 

 reduce the price in any country market. We by- 

 no means hint this with a view to difcourage expe- 

 riments and calculations; but merely to guard 

 againft expedlations of profit too fanguine to be 



realize^.
