tury ago, and is now the almoft only fort 

 which is cultivated. 



Before the ufc of LIME was prevalent, 

 much rye was grown on the lighter, lands 

 upon the margin of the Vale ; and in the 

 Morelands fcarcely any other crops than rye 

 and oats were attempted. Now, rye is prin- 

 cipally confined to the Moreland-dales ; and 

 even there the alteration of foils by lime has 

 been fuch, that wheat is become the more 

 prevalent crop. 



Neverthelefs, on light fandy Moreland foils 

 rye is generally more profitable than wheat 5 

 and the bread which is made from a mixture 

 of the two grains, is here efleemed more 

 wholefome to perfons in general, than that 

 which is made from wheat alone.
