fpring, till the end of May, at which time it became 
rather fickly and yellow. The drilled crop was fca- 
rified once in March, and horfe-hoed in the laft week 
of May; after this laft operation it improved greatly, 
and began to fhew a decided fuperiority over the 
broad-caft, which evidently continued to decline. At 
harveft the drilled part yielded 19 bufhels 3 pecks, 
nine-gallon meafure, per acre; the part broad-caft 
not quite 5 bufhels per acre. 
In March 1792, I drilled one bufhel of white Lam- 
mas wheat on one acre of potatoe-fallow, worth 
20S. per acre, prepared by once ploughing and har- 
rowing. The plants, when double-leaved, had one 
fearifying, and immediately after were harrowed 
acrofs with the common harrow, and when fix or 
eight inches high, were horfe-hoed; the crop ap- 
peared very thin till after Midfummer, yet I hada 
very great produce at harveft, both of grain and 
{traw; the acre yielded 29 bufhels 3 pecks of wheat, 
nine-gallon meafure. 
The fame fpring I tilled 30 acres of land, worth 
from 35s. to 40s. per acre, with barley; fifteen acres 
— drilled at two bufhels per acre, with rows at nine 
inches; and fifteen acres broad-caft, from three to 
four bufhels per acre; the preparation of the land, 
manuring, &c. in every refpect alike. The feafon 
proved very wet, both during the growth of the 
crop and at harveft:—The part broad-caft was 
lodged, ftained, and with great difficulty harvefted at 
all;
