*' The above is an account of a farm, belonging to the bell 

 manager in Marfh-land. VVc muft; obferve, he fallows his land 

 very often ; yet he is well paid by his fuperior crops. The laft 

 year ■(1795) ^^ ^^^^ '^'-'^ facks per acre off molt of his potato 

 land ; and fold them from 8s. to 12s. per fack of 14 pecks. 

 All their corn is fold by the quarter of 8 Winchciler bulhds, 

 though I believe their raeafure rather overruns. "

PART III. 



EXrRACTS FROM AGRICULTURAL PUBLICATIONS, 



Extracts of the Evidence given before the Committee of the 

 Houfe of Commons^ appointed to inquire into the Scarcity 

 of ProvifwiiSj &c. 



ExaminatioJi of Mr Claude Scott, Corn Merchant. 



What is your opinion, from the beft information you 

 have been able to obtain, of the produce of the lafl har^- 

 veft, as to w-heat ? 



In general, I underfland the produce turns out to be 

 unufually defe(9:ive ; on the whole, I queition whether 

 the produce will turn out more than half a good crop ; 

 for in the moil produ6live counties, fuch as Effex, Kent, 

 and Suffolk, I underiland the medium produce is not 

 more than two quarters per acre ; the quality, however, 

 is good. In other counties, particulajiy the northern 

 counties, the harveil has been lefs productive, and tha 

 quality unufually bad. 



What profpecl do you conceive there is of a fupply of 

 whe.'^t from foreign countries ?
