JJESIDES the various kinds of crops that have been already defcribed, and which 

 ferve either for the purpofe of human or cattle food, there are feveral others 

 which are not applicable in thefe ways, but which are extenfively cultivated in 

 different places, in order to be converted into different forts of manufactures, or 

 for their application in the arts of brewing, dyeing, &c. Thefe, as they require 

 particular modes of culture, and are frequently grown on the fame fpots of ground 

 for a confiderable length of time, may with propriety be termed plantation crops. 



Hemp. This is a plant of the herbaceous fibrous -rooted kind,which has a thick 

 ftrong ftem, that rifes to a confiderable height, and affords a rind or covering of 

 a firm ftrong texture, that is valuable for the purpofe of being manufactured into 

 cloth, cordage, &c. 



The foils moft fuited to the culture of this plant are thofe of the deep black 

 putrid vegetable kind, that are low and rather inclined to moifture, and thofe of 

 the deep, mellow, loamy, or fandy defcriptions. The quantity of produce is gene 

 rally much greater on the former than on the latter;, but it is faid to be greatly 

 inferior in quality. It may, however, be grown with fuccefs on lands of a lefs 

 rich and fertile kind,, by proper care and attention in their culture and pre 

 paration..
