upon the more gentle foils, adjacent to the village of 

 Hornchurch, the drill and potatoe hufbandry is conduded 

 to great advantage: the practice however, in fome meafure, 

 varies from that of Aveley, by fometimes fowing turnips 

 immediately after tares or rye, and fucceeding the potatoes 

 with a crop of wheat in the place of peas. The potatoes 

 alfo, which are defigncd for feeding rattle, are planted upon 

 three-foot ridges, and managed in the fame manner as at 

 Finchingfield. Upon the lowed computation, the potatoe 

 crops average here, 20,000 lbs. to the acre. 



Rapefeed is tranfplanted at twelve inches fqua.re upon the 

 potatoe land,, colls a guinea per acre, generally Hands for a 

 crop, and is always found to anfwer extremely well. This 

 practice is ftrongly recommended where wheat ftraw is in 

 much demand, as the draw of the rape feed, affords an ex- 

 cellent fubftitute for littering the ftraw yards, the cow 

 fheds, and the ftall fed cattle. 



The general light land hufbandry of this diftrid, is to 

 fallow and dung for turnips, which are once hoed at 5s. 6d. 

 per acre, and followed with barley upon once ploughing, 

 fourteen pecks to the acre, with v/hich is ufually fown about 

 twelve pounds of red clover .mixed with half a bufliel of clean 

 ray grafs. This is dunged in the autumn or winter whilft 

 young, or upon the ley after two years, and previous to the 

 ground being fown with peas, which are gathered green for 

 the London market. The pea etches are well cleaned, and 

 fown with wheat (and occafionally with rye for a crop;} the 

 ftubbles of ei;her^ are ploughed immediately after h.arveft, 

 and the land foun with rye or t^rcs for fpring food, which 

 is generally fed off by the middle of May, and in very good 

 time to prepare in courfe for turnips. 



The common hufl^andry of the heavier lands is to fum- 

 mer fallow for wiieat, oats or barley, and with, either, or
