In the year following, he writes, p. 274* 

 " My fingle land of fifty-two perches in the

[This example of horfe-hoed wheat (hews, 

 not only the great advantage of that culture 

 beyond the common courfe of Hufbandry, 

 with fallowing ; but likewife its fuperiority 

 to the Modern Improved Hufbanclry of fallow 

 crops, as turnips, cabbages, &c. inftead of a 

 fallow: for while the land is yielding a fallow 

 crop, it would, by horle-hoeing, produce a 

 crop of wheat, which is of more value than 

 any of the common fallow crops, including 

 the expence of the dung or manure beftowed 

 upon them.]
