die weight of the bufliel 72 pounds, 9 gallon mca- 

 fore. The foil^a poor binding loanny fand, which 

 if undiflurbed foon grows moffy. It had borne fix 

 ijrillcd crops in fucceflion, four of them wheat, 

 without any manure whatever. 



From this and fomc other obfervations I jiave 

 made on tranfplanted wheat, I am convinced no 

 ihode of pradbice would equal tranfplanring as to 

 quantity of produce j but from the great labour and 

 cxpence, and number of hands it would require, 

 that mode of cultivation on a large fcale is abfo- 

 lutely impradicable, and therefore not to be thought 

 of. But to return to our fubjed. 



Some who favour the opinion that the caufe of 

 the fmut is from the depravity of the feed, have 

 obferved, that " when two adjoining fields have 

 *^ begun their blooming at the fame time, but be- 

 ** longing to different owners, and therefore fown 

 ** with different feed, one fhall be almoft free from 

 " fmut, and the other greatly infefted with it; this 

 *' cannot be owing to the atmofphere, (fay they,) 

 " for they have both the fame; now what then can 

 " be faid to this by thofe who fuppofe the fmut is 

 " owing to the unfavourablenefs of the weather at 



" the time of blooming ? 



I anfwer.
