the average weight of drilled turnips was as 

 follows ; viz. Single rows, on five foot 

 ridges, 19 tun per acre; double rows, on 

 five foot ridges, 27 tun and an half; ran- 

 dom fown, 20 tun. In 1767, the drilled 

 ■turnips weighed 27 tun, and the broadcaft 

 32 tun per acre. In 1768, the turnips 

 drilled in fingle rows, weighed only 14 tun 

 and a hdXi per acre ; the broadcaft 26 tun. 

 Laft year the drilled produced 25 tun, the 

 broadcaft 28. The average produce of 

 random fown turnips I find to be 28 tun, 

 of drilled 23. The above turnip land was 

 all well manured, viz. 12 load per acre,

Thefe experiments are extenflve, and 

 particularly valuable; for they have led the 

 way to the improvement of a vaft trad: of 

 badly cultivated country ; which in the 

 hands of fo fpirited and attentive a man 

 will have the nobleft confequences. They 

 offer great encouragement to all landlords 

 of fuch poor foils, to induce them to under- 

 take fimilar courfes of trials : Nor can I 

 omit returning my thanks to the author in 

 the name of the publick, for an attention 

 that proves him to be fo good a friend to it. 



At Brwnpton^ the foil is very good, it is 

 a rich loam upon a lim.eftone, lets at about 

 I4J". iin acre; farms in general from 50/. 

 to 100/, Their courfe is,
