with all of tliefe crops, few fixteen pounds of clover to the 

 acre; dung the young clover, and fow wheat after one 

 fiimmer ^upon the leys of that clover, which fucceeded ihe 

 fpring corn. Where clover is fown in the fpring of |the 

 year upon the wheat, it lies one fummer, and the enfuing 

 winter the clover ley is dunged, once ploughed, and drilled 

 with beans, kept well hoed, and fucceeded with wheat ; the 

 etches of which, are either winter fallowed for fpring corn, 

 or the wheat ftubble haulined, the land winter fallowed, 

 and Town with colefeed by the firfl: of June : this is fed 

 completely off by Chrillmas, and the land again is put into 

 excellent condition for beans or other fpring corn, by the 

 middle of February. When the colefeed ftands for a crop, 

 it is fucceeded with wheat, unlefs the ground fhould be 

 extremely foul, and very much exhaufted, in which cafe, 

 beans are made to fucceed the colefeed, as an intermediate 

 crop, and preparation for wheat : by this change of crops 

 and the frequent opportunities which offer through this dif- 

 tri(Sl in procuring top dreffings of portable manure, the 

 produce upon an average, according to the index table, is 



23 bufhels of Wheat 

 34 ditto of Barley 

 34 ditto 3 pecks of Oats 

 20 ditto of Peas 



24 ditto of Beans 



Which table further fhews, that the average rent of the 

 arable land through the diftridl is 14s. 9d. 'per acre. That 

 the pafture land of the firfl: quality is 30s. and that of 

 the fecond quality 15s. 2d. per acre. That the marfh lands 

 (chiefly bordering upon the River Thames) are 32s. 9d. and 

 that where the highland grafs and arable land are let together, 

 and without diftinaion of price,they average 15s. 6d. per acre. 

 That the undergrowth of the woodlands is cut down every
