éxpence. I had.only 40 facks of potatoes from the 
one row on.each. fallow-ridge in, this field. Inthe 
fame year, in an adjoining field, there was a fine\crop, 
of broad-caft wheat to appearance, after beans, well 
dunged; and the farmer affured me, he had only 
three quarters. and an ‘half per acre.. Indeed, the 
ears of the broad-caft. corn. were very.fmall,, and 
about three or four inches, long... In my. red,wheat 
I had many ears eight inches. long, meafured by 
numbers of gentlemen who came to fee my, crop. 
I with thefe experiments had been continued for,a 
feries of years as I intended, and then the refult would 
have been much. more interefting. .
