But this very land, which requires fuch delicate 

 and expenfive procefs for barley, will, without the 

 fallow, (with the admiflion of beans, peafe, or 

 turnips) produce an equal quantity of oats. For 

 the two laft years, three parts of my field for oats 

 were thus perfetlly fallowed after wheat, and the 

 other part cultivated with cabbages and turnips 

 for winter provender; and in both trials, agreeably 

 to what a very confidcrable farmer had aflured me, 

 my crop of oats (a grain not requiring that nice 

 pulverization of the foil, fo elTential to barley in 

 the fowing tilth) was in quantity and quality, af- 

 ter each of the crops of winter herbage, fully 

 equal to the returns of the expenfive fallow. The 

 confequence to me is, that as from motives of con- 

 venience I never fow barley, I (hall yet probably 

 exceed in my profit my neighbours that do, as I 

 can avoid that cmnpleat falhzv by fubftituting oats j 

 to which they mull neceffarily fubmit. 



I am from experience convinced, that an acre of 

 carrots will double in the quantum, of equally hearty 

 provender, the product of an acre of oats; and 

 from the nature of their vegetation, the nice mode 

 of cultivation, and even of taking them up, (all of 

 which, expenfive as they are, bear a very inferior 

 proportion to the value of a medium crop) muft 

 leave the land, efpecially if taken off it in an early 



period.
