3^6 jigriculiuyal Intelligence — England, Aug. 1804 » 



vailing pra^fVice of fowing- upon the flag", and the abandonment of fiim- 

 mer fallows, which nccellarily occalions an increafe of tht^fe reptiles. 

 Barley is thin, and full rtf weeds, and, with oats, cannot be reported 

 at three fourtl\s of an average. Peas are, in fome inllances, injured by 

 the louiV. Beans are very good. 



The ai-tificial gralTes exhibited, in the fpring months, a full plant 

 with a healthy countenance ; but afterwards received a check, which 

 they never recovered. The marfhes and meadows produced an abund- 

 ant crop ; but the produce has been much injured by the late heavy 

 and repeated rains. Turnips fullained fome partial injuries, firll from 

 the fly, aiid afterwards from the black canker which this year appeared 

 unufually early. Viewing the county at large, they may however be 

 faid to prefeut a favourable appearance. 



Grain has lately increafed in price. This advance is, by fome peo- 

 ple attributed to the p.ew corn bill, and probably it may have fome ef- 

 fect • but there is reafon to think that the eincient caufe is the prefeht 

 appearance of the growing crop. Harvelt will be pretty general in 

 twelve or fourteen days. ^"^'^J 2.
