OF NORFOLK. .69

(a) Mr. Baillie remarks, " this is the only thing wanted—. 

 " but I fuppofe Mr. Kent means that the fertilizing crop is to 

 4e pafs through the body of fome animals, to convert it intQ 

 " manure, and not that a crop growing upon land will ferti- 

 " lize it." My meaning is plain, that a crop of turnips, 

 yetches or even clover, either fed off upon the ground where 

 grown, or confumed in the (tables, ftalls and yards, will add 

 as much benefit to the foil, as the wheat and barley crop will 

 injure it. 



(b) Mr. Howlett fays, ,: all this fpecious theoretical rea- 

 « foning feems to be fufficiently refuted, by an appeal to fact 

 " and experience, made in the Effex Survey, page 1 6. 



« s Indeed, the expediency of fallowing, or not, muft de- 

 « pend partly upon the nature of the foil, and partly upon 

 " the quantity of manure that can be raifed." 



What grounds Mr. Howlett can have, for calling this mere 

 fpecious and theoretical reafoning I know not, and as to the 

 expediency which he alludes to, I truft I have fufficiently 

 explained that at the latter end of this fection ; but I wifh he 

 would attend to the next commentator but one. 



(c) Mr. Baillie has another remark to the following effect:, 

 "This cannot be faiily faid, becaufe it has been complained 

 «« of that it does not produce turnips fo well now as for- 

 •• merly, &c The greateft defect of the Norfolk fyftem 

 " feems to be in ploughing too much, and of not keeping of 

 f« more fheep, and of a better kind.'' With fubmiffion, I 



think,
