out by cropping, or ill -management, a few tides will 

 at any time restore it. As to the crops he has had, 

 they have been very great indeed ; of potatoes from 

 80 to 130 tubs of 36 gallons, selling the round sorts 

 at 3s. to 3s. 6d. a tub ; and kidneys at 5s. to 8s. 

 Twenty acres warped in 17Q4, could not be ploughed 

 for oats in 1795, he therefore sowed the oats on 

 the fresh warp, and scuffled in the seed by men 

 drawing a scuffier ; eight to draw, and one to hold ; 

 the whole crop was very great : but on three acres 

 of it measured separately, they amounted to J4 

 quarters one sack per acre. I little thought of 

 finding exactly the husbandry of the Nile in Eng- 

 land, I had before heard of clover- seed being 

 sown in this manner on fresh warp, and succeeding 

 greatly. 



He warped 12 acres of wheat-stubble, and sowed 

 oats in April, which produced 12 quarters an acre. 

 Then wheat, 36 bushels an acre. His wheat is 

 never less than 30. 



Six acres of beans produced 30 loads per acre, 

 or QO bushels : one acre, measured to decide a 

 wager, yielded 99 bushels. Has had 144 pods from 

 one bean on four stalks; and Tartarian oats seven 

 feet high. One piece warped in 1793, 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,
