foil. The reafon of thefe poor crops I fup- 

 pofed to be, that the land was exhaufted by 

 conflant cropping in corns, without regular 

 rotation of corn and grafs, and improperly 

 manured. 



If the one half of this country was in fown 

 grafs, the produce would be double to what 

 it is at prefent ; which would fave both feed 

 and labour for the land at prefent in corns. 



This part of the country would anfwer 

 furprifingly well with the fpade culture in 

 large gardens, as propofed. All kind of trees 

 would thrive very well here, fruit trees not 

 cxcepted. 



From Callender to Lochearnhead, on both 

 fides of the loch of Lubnich, five miles in 

 length, moftly all grafs. Very few houfes. 

 The ground on both fides of the loch lies 

 warm and dry. The foil on the north fide 

 in appearance very good, fit to carry good 

 crops of corns and grafs ; would pay very 

 well for the expence of labouring with 

 the fpade. And, as rhis glen is warm and 

 well flickered from mo>t winds, a number of 

 houfes might be built, having only two and 

 a half acres for a garden, to be laboured 

 wholly with the fpade, with a pirt every 



year
