Account of a Crop of Beans and Turnips in 

 alternate Rows. 



[By Mr. John Bult, of Kingfton, near Taunton.] 



Gentlemen, 



IN reply to your Secretary's enquiries relative to 

 my drilled crop of beans, with turnips in the 

 intervals, I fend you the following particulars : — ■ 



The field meafures fix ftatute acres and a quar- 

 ter, and is a good clayey foil. 



The beans were planted in drills near two feet 

 apart, on two ploughings, and horfe-hoed three 

 times, the turnips being fown in the intervals at 

 the third or laft hoeing. There has been no kind 

 of manure or drefling laid on the land for fix crops 

 pad, nor is there any need of it, as I find by ex- 

 perience, that drilling and horfe-hoeing anfwer 

 the end fully.* 



The weight of turnips was 37 tons 5 cwt. per 

 acre, as meafured and weighed by Mr. Pavier, 

 and Mr. Headford. Thefe turnips are now feed- 

 ing off. Thirty-one head of horned cattle, fixty- 



• The crop of beans w.is near tliree quarters per acre.
