172 LAND TENURE 



in which custom allows no payment at all for the expenditure of 

 the outgoing tenant in bare fallowing. Roots and green crops 

 for consumption are either paid for, in whole or in part, according 

 to the value at time of entry, or the outlay in workings is allowed. 

 But in some districts, in lieu of such payments, there is a right of 

 the incoming tenant to enter in the summer for the purpose of 

 sowing his turnip crop. 



For farmyard manure and straw the payments by custom range 

 from nil up to the market value of the straw and the full value 

 of the manure. In some few districts notably in Yorkshire 

 West Riding an outgoing tenant can claim by custom half the 

 value of the farmyard manure applied to the corn crop which he 

 himself has reaped, even though he has purchased no feeding 

 stuffs whatever. For hay of the last year's growth the payments 

 range from two -thirds up to the full value. 



Schedule I., Form B, referring to allowances for " Purchased 

 Feeding Stuffs and Purchased Manures," includes items from 

 t went y- one districts. 



It must not be understood, however, that this signifies the 

 existence in all these districts of allowances for both feeding stuffs 

 and manures, for the allowances in either class extend to only a 

 few articles, except in a very limited number of districts, namely, 

 Dorset (Central), Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire (Marshes), Notting- 

 hamshire, Staffordshire (South), Yorkshire West Rifling (Wake- 

 field), and Yorkshire West Riding (Barnsley) ; in which districts 

 compensation is given for a considerable number of articles in 

 both classes. 



Compensation for feeding stuffs, with allowances for manures 

 in some cases, prevails in Cambridgeshire (Isle of Ely, North). 

 In Gloucestershire (Vale of the Severn) there is a partially intro- 

 duced allowance for feeding stuffs with a fair extent of allow- 

 ance for manures. In Surrey there is some compensation for 

 manures, while feeding stuffs are considered in the valuation of 

 the farmyard manure and the foldings of sheep ; and in York- 

 shire (Ripon), there are comprehensive allowances for manures 

 and a partial compensation for feeding stuffs. 



In Cheshire (North), Gloucestershire (Tetbury), Gloucester- 

 shire (East and North of Cheltenham), Gloucestershire (Ciren- 

 cester), Gloucestershire (Cotswold Hills), Gloucestershire (Tewkes- 

 bury), Kent (the Weald), Oxfordshire (Henley-on-Thames), 

 Wiltshire (North), and Wiltshire (South), there exist customs 

 allowing payments for artificial manures, but nothing whatever 

 for oilcake or other purchased feeding-stuffs. But this compen- 

 sation for manures is in some districts very partial, as in Cheshire 

 (North), where it applies only to bones on pasture land ; in 

 Gloucestershire (Tewkesbury), where it is confined to guano and 

 superphosphate used for root or green crops ; and in Wiltshire 

 (North), where the same rule appears to obtain. 



In Norfolk (Marshland) the custom gives a small compensation
