Add to this the advantage of having at leafl: half 

 the land in good order for a crop of wheat, and I 

 think it mufl: appear a very advantageous method 

 of culture. How the potatoes on the oat-ftubble 

 will fucceed, I cannot form any judgment, as I 

 never attempted to grow them after that grain. I 

 have cultivated many acres of wheat and potatoes 

 in the fame method with great fuccefs.

P. S. Since the above was written, I have re- 

 duced the price of planting wheat or oats with 

 the five-tined frame to 4s. io|d. per acre. The 

 potatoes on the oat-ftubble produced 45 facks of 

 3 bulhels each from the half acre, and the wheat 

 on the potatoe land was remarkably fine, and pro- 

 mifes to be a very great crop, though it is not at 

 prefent threfhed.
