t 125 3 



"Sir, 



" YOU give me the opportunity to corred, of 

 alter, what 1 had written to you, in refped.to drill- 

 ing and horfe-hoeing of turnips, and have fent me 

 the ftriclures of your Committee thereon. I have 

 revifed the former, and read over the lattcl- with 

 attention, and thoroughly confidered them both. 

 The refult is, I think, they may both continue as they 

 are, with the addition of a few words* only to 

 one article contained in my former letter, and of the 

 following explanation, which I acknowledge to be 

 requifite, and, in my judgment, may be more fatis- 

 faclory to thofe who may take the trouble to read 

 the whole, than any other mode or modification; 

 and more refpedful to the Committee, who have 

 given their attention to comment on what I wrote. 



** I am eafily to be convinced, that in very light 

 fandy ground (on which I have had no experience) 

 the horfe-hoe may be of little fervice; but for fuch 

 kind of foils on which I have conftantly for more 

 than twenty years ufed the drill and horfe-hoe, 

 which are both poor and rich clays, loam, and ftope- 

 rufh, (alias ftone-brafli) or a mixture, as in my cafe, 

 of fmall lime-ftone and a clayey loam, it has pro- 

 duced a furprifing effed, and my experience con- 

 firms my opinion on fuch foils.
