a ae date 
jance in favour of drilling the barley crop om the 
field above-mentioned, was by far the fmalleft of all 
the comparative trials I have made, which is account- 
ed for by its being on the pooreft foil I ever drilled 
with that grain; for Iam of opinion, if the crop 
does not lodge, which feldom happens to drilled 
crops, that the balance will ever be greateft, parti- 
cularly at the great diftance of a foot between the 
rows of corn, on the richeft foils in the beft ftate of 
cultivation. 
I have this feafon feveral crops of turnips, partly 
drilled and partly broad-caft in the fame field; the 
advantage of drilling is too apparent to admit a 
doubt on it, and there is a faving of at leaft 4s. per 
acre in the hoeing of a crop drilled at 12 inches a- 
part, befides the opportunity of doing the work more 
compleatly. Beans drilled in two rows at 9 inches, 
with an interval of 27, if well weeded early, and 
ploughed between as direéted by Mr. Cooxe, be- 
come quite a thicket, My crop of this year exceeded 
any thing I ever faw; and Mr. Wuire Parsons, 
of Queen-Camel, who lives ina bean country, af. 
fured me he never faw fo fine a crop. The fallow 
is in compleat order for wheat. It happened, I 
think fortunately, that a certain portion of this field, 
from the accelerated growth of the beans from the 
wet weather in May and June, could not be ploughed 
a fecond time between the rows, and it is now afto- 
nifhing to fee the difference in the friability of the 
fallow;
