Wheat, or Bunty Wheat? When the caufe of any 
difeafe is known, there is fome probability to effect 
a cure; when unknown, all applications are a mere 
Jeap in the dark; whether they do good or harm 
is, I conceive, an equal chance. Any gentleman 
that will be kind enough to point out the caufe, 
and if he will add, what is prefumed to be a cure, 
it will be efteemed a favour by wheat-growers in 
general, but particularly by 
FARMER SLOUCH. 
LETTER II. 
Permit me, through the channel of your paper, 
to give Farmer Slouch an an{wer to his letter re- 
fpecting bunty wheat. Every one will agree with 
him, that the caufe of a difeafe being afcertained 
a greater probability of effecting a cure follows, 
than when men prefcribe under the difficulties 
of darknefs and ignorance. Perhaps, in what fol- 
lows, the inquirer may not meet with all the fatis- 
tisfaction he wifhes for in fo ferious a matter. 
Neverthelefs, as it has greatly weighed with me, I 
take the liberty of offering it to his notice. At 
this via writing, I cannot fay to what author 
I am obliged for the remark, but am inclined to 
think I met with it in Tull’s hufbandry.
