An account of a Crop of Wheat fown and ma- 

 naged in a peculiar way, 



[By a Member of the Society refiding in Cornwall.] 



TN September wheat was fown amongft turnips, 

 -*- and covered by hoeing, hurdled and eaten off by 

 ftieep late in April; immediately afterwards the 

 ground was fown with grafs feeds, which were har- 

 rowed in : the produce of wheat was twenty buihels, 

 or very nearly, to an acre. The land a fandy gravel, 

 in a very high fituation, and totally unfit for wheat 

 in general : but this was allowed to be as good a 



crop.
