I THINK leases and a commutation for tithe, with a good purse, essential to good 

 farming; and that the present high price of horses, cattle, sheep, butter, and cheese, 

 is owing to the additional quantity of land ploughed when corn was very dear ; but 

 as the price of corn is now so low as not to yield profit, on account of the increase 

 of taxes and price of labour, the probable consequence will be a decrease of tillage, 

 and a consequent high price of corn. 



To encourage population and a permanent supply of all the necessaries of life, 

 I conceive, that the most effectual means will be to empower all tenants for life to 

 grant leases fur a moderate term ; to establish a fair commutation for tithe corn,
