C 370 3 



It fecms you have been informed by fome of 

 your corrcfpondcnts, *' that the pradlice oi Jetting 

 wheat declines in Norfolk." The gentlemen, I 

 doubt not, fpeak their real opinion; but I am clear 

 you are greatly mifinformed, as from my own ob- 

 fervation, as well as from the information of others 

 in different parts of the county, there never was 

 known fo many acres Jet as in this and a few pre- 

 ceding years. 



In a fejJfon when feed-corn is very cheap, or the 

 autumn particularly unfavourable to the pradlice, 

 it muft certainly be lelTened; in light lands for in- 

 Ilancc, a very dry time prevents dibbling, as the 

 holes made with the inftruments will be filled up 

 again by the mould as faft as the inftrument is 

 withdrawn. So again, in a very vcet feafon, on 

 Jlrongjliff daySy the feeds in the holes cannot be well 

 and properly covered by the bufhes drawn over 

 them; but thefe extremes of dry and wet do not 

 often happen, nor do they affecSt lands of a mode- 

 rately confident texture, or both light and heavy 

 foils, at the fame time, fo that the general pradice 

 is in fad never greatly impeded by them.
