This fcheme is no more than doubling the 

 yalue of the prizes for the firft five years ; af- 

 ter which period they have only L.JO each. 

 But if gentlemen and farmers thought pro- 

 per to continue the plan, three prizes for 

 each article, it would only require the tax- 

 ation to be doubled on the fixth and the fuc- 

 ceeding years. By this means it would in- 

 creafe the number of prizes three to one. 

 Five pence each acre, in place of twopence 

 halfpenny, would anfwer the purpofe. 



The gentlemen and farmers might adopt 

 cither of thefe fchemes they thought proper 

 themfelves. But the having of three prizes for 

 each article, during the firft five years, would 

 be of great fervice to introduce the fcheme, 

 although not continued. 



In order ftill to make the fcheme more uni- 

 vcrfally ufeful, fo that it might be adopted by 

 the lowed clafs of mankind, there ought to 

 be in every diftri6t three clafles of prizes for 

 the fpade culture, in the fame order, and for 

 the fame articles as thofe for the plough cul- 

 ture. They need not at firft he upon a large 

 fcale, as it is only propofed to fhow the diffe- 

 rence between the plough and fpade, and to 



introduce.
