WEST DEVONSHIRE. 137 



About twenty years ago, the cultivation 

 of the POTATOE was introduced into this 

 Diflridl; and turn EPS have been more 

 or lefs cultivated, for a much longer time ; 

 but not in a manner which redounds any 

 honor on their cultivators. 



Thefe two crops, being grown on ley 

 grounds, have broken in upon the prior 

 fyftem of Management : fo that, at this 

 juncture, the Diftrid: may be faid to be 

 without any regular Courfe of Manage- 

 ment ; and it mull remain in this predi- 

 cament, until turneps and potatoes fhall be 

 introduced after wheat or oats, as a fallow 

 crop for barley and ley herbage.
