part of the plantation will exceed the other at lead 

 one-third in value. The young (hoots, in that 

 part of the plantation cut in 1776, are remarkably 

 flrong and healthy, and bid fair to be fit for a fc- 

 cond cutting in feven years. 



By this eafy and judicious management, one acre 

 and a half of land, not worth five Ihillings a year 

 for any other purpofe, has paid the planter near 

 fifty pounds in twelve years; and the acre and a 

 half now (landing will, if cut next feafon, probably 

 bring him full feventy pounds. 



The firft five years after planting, they were kept 

 clear from weeds, but that trouble and expence has 

 been long fince at an end; and in time to come, 

 after deducing the fmall charge of cutting, the 

 whole produce may be reckoned clear gain. 



This, furely, mufl be a fufHcient enCouragemenc 

 for gentlemen in other counties to plant fuch lands 

 in the fame manner, as ic will at once prove bene- 

 ficial to the owner, and to the community.
