the fame as the preceding, three quarters of 

 barley, four quarters oats, peafe two quar- 

 ters, and very little wheat grown. The dif- 

 ference of produce here is evidently owing 

 to the want of inclofure, and of clover and 

 turnips. Our grafs inclofures let in general 

 at 15 J", and fome at 20 j-.: And upon ex- 

 amining the rental of my eftate, I find that 

 the high wolds land lets at i j". per acre, 

 beil low jfield land at 10 s. and inclofures at 

 1 6 J", and the medium rental of the whole 

 at 3 J-. 6 d. I fliould imagine that to be the 

 medium rent of this large trad; of country ; 

 but if this be nearly the true ftate at pre- 

 fent, it certainly will be very different a f ew 

 years hence, as inclofure is making large 

 and rapid flrides amongft us, and intro- 

 ducing in its train varieties of the artificial 

 graile'j, turnips, ^c. &c, : And it is highly 

 probable the rents will foon be doubled. 



In 1762, I fov/ed a flat of 1 6 acres with 

 fainfoin along with barley, in the month of 

 April \ the land was on the top of the wolds, 

 a plain inclining to the fouth, the foil a 

 poor fandy loam, about 14 inches deep (a 

 bed of lime-ftone beneath) it had borne a 

 good crop of oats the preceding year, and 

 was well prepared for the barley and fain- 

 foin by feveral ploughings, and the folding 

 of 500 iheep : The fainfoin was drilled 

 after the barley, it was one foot afunder, 

 and took feven pecks of feed per acre ; the
