NORFOLK. 2$i 



H-^dfozvs three buflicls of grey peas, broad- 

 caft, the beginning of April. Ke thinks three 

 builiels of grey are equal to four of white. 



B d, on light tliln-lklnned olland^ dib- 

 bled part with two buihels an acre ; and two- 

 furrowed the reft with three bufhelSj/^cc;^ by 

 hand between the furrows; each of them about one 

 inch and a half thick ! The Norfolk plow iin- 

 gularly adapted to this work ; and, in loofe bro- 

 ken ground, the procefs would be excellent; 

 but, in whole ground, the back of the firft fur- 

 row being fmooth, and the peas round and ilip- 

 pery, they do not reft where they fall, but roll 

 more or lefs into the feams and hollows, not- 

 withftanding the operation was, in this inftance, 

 performed in a mafterly ftyle. 



Thus it appears that various ways are prac- 

 tiled in putting in the pea-crop ; but, from thofc 

 and other inftanccs, I may venture to dra'.v two 

 general inferences. Lays are feldom plowed 

 more than once for peas; and the feed is, in gene- 

 ral, DIBBLED IN, upon the flag of this one plow- 

 ing. But STUBBLES ate, in general, broken by 

 a winter-fallow of three or four plowings ; the 

 feed being eown- broad-cast ; and plowed im, 

 about three inches deep, with the laft plowhig.
