the lands that arc fubjefted to an alternacy 

 of corn and grafs. 



In Welt Devonfhire, the regular diftri- 

 bution has been broken, in fome fort, by 

 the introdu(§tion of Turneps and Pota- 

 toes *. In the South Hams, the breach 

 has been made ftill wider, by the intro- 

 duction of CLOVER LEYS P^OR WHEAT, 



and the practice of fowing wheat after 



TURNEPS. 



How long thefe pra^flices have been in- 

 troduced, I did not learn. But from their 

 not having \et reached the more Weftern 

 Diiiriifl:, they are probably of modern date. 

 And although I obferved them in feveral 

 inftances, they are probably not yet intro- 

 duced into the ordinary m^inagement, even 

 of this Diftrid. 



The Crops of the South Hams are the 

 three corn crops of Wheat, Barky, and 

 Oats. The Fulfes are fparingly, if at all, 

 cultivated in the Diftrid:. Beans, at leafl, 

 are imported, in quantity. Some Turneps, 

 a few Potatoes, and cultivated herbage^ 

 form the reft of its arable crops,
