From this town to Doncajler, the road 

 leads through a very light fandy country, 

 greatly refembling the weftern parts of 

 Norfolk. About Cantler, the foil is chiefly 

 land ; lets at various prices, but all are low. 

 Farms run from 20 /. to 40 /. Their courfe 

 is, 



1. Turnips 3. Clover 



2. Barley 4. Rye, and fome wheat. 

 They plough four or five times for 



their turnips, never hoe them, value a 

 crop at about 25* s. or 30 s. and feed them 

 off with both fheep and hearts. Upon fo 

 good a turnip-land, this low price can 

 proceed, I lhould apprehend, from nothing 

 but the villanous cuftom of not hoeing. 

 For barley they ftir twice, low three bulhels, 

 and gain at a medium a crop of 3I quarters. 

 Their clover they mow twice in the year, 

 and get about two loads of hay at the two 

 cuttings. For wheat they give the clover 

 land but one nirring, fow three bufhels of 

 feed, and reap at an average about two 

 quarters. For rye, they ]ike\\ife plough 

 but once, fow two bulhels, and have in 

 return about the fame quantity as of wheat. 

 For oats thev give but one tilth, fow four 

 bulhels, and get in return about three 

 quarters. For pcafe, they plough twice or 

 thrice, fow three bufhels 5 the mean crop
