Mr. Wimpey was alfo pofitive, that a greater | 
produce of barley might be procured from three 
| bufhels of feed fown broad-caft, than from two 
bufhels fown with the drill. What two bufhels of 
drilled feed might yield per acre, I know not, but, 
from nearly twenty years experience, I am confident 
that one bufhel of barley, wheat, peas, beans, or 
oats drilled per acre, will give a much greater and 
heavier crop of either of thofe grains, than any pro- 
portion of them fown broad.catt. 
But it is time to bring the comparative merits of 
the two fyftems to fome fair and undoubted teft. 
Let the advantages of each be fully afcertained, and 
publickly known. A very large premium for four 
or fix years courfe of experiments, would perhaps 
elucidate this fubje&. Surely it is of the utmoft 
national importance; in my opinion, a clear faving 
of §2000,000. fterling 2 year might be made in the
