Soil, a gravelly loam. Part of this field was winter

 were planted in beds five feet wide, and intervals 

 three feet, without any ploughing. 



The fpring vetches were fown the fame, and the 

 planting was not finifhed till the middle of June. 

 As the vetches were put in dear, viz. three 

 bufhels ptr acre at 6s. per bufhel, (9 gallon 

 meafure) I have debited the potatoes with the 

 whole year's rent. It is a good way to mow the
