" Your Committee obferve, that the fame foil 

 cannot be proper for beans and turnips. Doubtlefs 

 a bean delights mofl: in a heavy loam, a turnip in a 

 light one. But, like taylors, we farmers muft cut 

 our coats according to our cloth. Were I to fow 

 no turnips but in a foil thebeft adapted to them, I 

 could not get a plant, for I have no fuch foil: but 

 while I can get in fingle rows, four feet afunder, or 

 more, from half a dozen to half a fcore tons of 

 turnips per acre, after, or rather between a crop of 

 beans,* in my heavy lands, I fhall feel that prodn^ 

 here more beneficial than to drop the mode. I 

 believe the medium of the two, fo far as I can judge 

 by the eye, or get information, to be fuperior to 

 the average produce of prepared fallow turnip crops 

 in ten miles round me. As to the friendly wifh 

 of your Committee, that I would plant the Scotch 

 cabbage between my beans, I am happy we agree 

 fo well in judgment: I have done fo this year, in 

 the fame field where I have turnips alfo; but the 

 crop of the latter is fo preferable to that of the for- 

 mer, as to induce me to think the cabbage will not 

 get to fo great a perfedion here, as to be profitably 

 introduced on a large fcale, for want of the profu- 

 fion of dung ncccfTary for that crop, which we 

 cannot procure. 



• The queftion here !s,'Whetherif inflead of turnips Mr. A. planted liij 

 rows of beans two feet diflant only, the extra produce of Iiis crop viould not 

 have exceeded in value that of his turnips? We think they would j as thefg 

 iotcrvali would freely admit his horfe-hoe between th: beans.
