The Expeoces of growing a Barley Crop prior to the Year 179c may be cflimate<i

* Thus it appears, on a fiiir calculation of expences, that a barley 

 crop, even at the old rate of rents, tithes, labour, and poor rates, wai 

 by no means a profitable crop, at the general average of 3^ quarter! 

 per acre ; and that the profit of arable land, under this fyftem of ma- 

 nagement, muft be derived more from the ftocjc kept on the fame 

 during the fucceeding two years lying in grafs, and the following wheat 

 crop on the flag upon one earth, than on the barley crop, whilft this 

 grain is at fo low a price. And for the further deficiency or lofs ivi. 

 this crop, occafioned by the increafed rate of rents, &c. &c. &c. an^ 

 W price of barley, fee aS follows.
