3Q4 WARPING. [JUNE* 



wager, yielded QQ bushels. Has had 144 pods from 

 one bean on four stalks ; and tartarian oats seven 

 feet high. One piece warped in 17Q3, produced 

 oats in 1794? six quarters an acre: white clover 

 and hay seeds were sown with them, mown twice 

 the first year : the first cutting yielded three tons of 

 hay an acre ; the second one ton ; and after that 

 an immense eddish. Warp, Mr. Webster observes, 

 brings weeds never seen here before, particularly 

 mustard, cresses, and wild celery, with plenty of 

 docks and thistles. 



Flax, 40 to 50 stone per acre. 



A sluice for warping, 5 feet high, and 7 \vi< 

 will do for 5O acres per annum ; and if the land lie 

 near the river, for 70. Costs from 40Ol. to 50OL 



Mr. Nicolson at RawclifF, takes the levels first ; 

 builds a sluice ; if a quarter of a mile or half a 

 mile, 60 acres may be done the first year ; the 

 drier the season, the better. The clough, or sluice, 

 4001. eight feet wide, and five or six feet high : 

 a drain 14 feet at bottom, and as much more at 

 top, 3Os. to 4Os. an acre, of 28 yards : banks four 

 to eight feet high, and expence 7s. to 20s. an acre 

 of 28 yards. Begin at Lady-day till Martinmas ; 

 but all depends on season ; the depth will depend 

 on circt 1 es. If a landlord warp, it should 



be deq> at once ; if a tenant, .shallow and repeat it, 

 as good corn will grow at six inches as six feet ; at 

 three inches great crops ; the .stiller the warp the 

 better. Some seasons, sow corn the year after.
