N. B. Out of my 40 acres of wheat and 30 acres of oats, I choose out 10 

 acres, either from the wheat or oats, which ever will best answer to sow with clover, 

 in addition to my 30 acres of barley land, which makes the number 40 acres for 

 clover. But this is to be done with care and judgment, so as not to put the farm 

 out of its proper rotation of crops, to get one year and lose another. 



LINCOLNSHIRE. 



J. Linton, Esq. 



I TAKE the liberty of remarking, that the circumstances which existed about the 

 year 1790, do not afford a fair criterion for deciding on the prices at which corn 

 ought to be sold. About that time the value of corn was much depressed, tillage, 

 was checked, and scarcity ensued. The effect of the measures then taken, have 

 made us still more depend for a supply of corn on importation, and if the discour- 

 agements under which agriculture suffers are not removed, the evil will still 

 increase. 



In hxingthe prices at which the importation of foreign corn ought to be permitted, 

 I hope that the difference bciween the price paid to the grower, and that ultimately 

 received from the consumer, will be taken into consideration. The farmer in Lin- 

 colnshire receives for his corn 4*. per quarter less than it is worth when conveyed 

 to and resold in Mark Lane; conseque\itly, to allow oats to be imported when 

 the price in London is i8.c. perqunnci, is to admit foreign oats when the growers 

 here receive the inadequate price ot 14^. only.
