 continues good ; and when it falls off in 

 value (if in a procefs of years, it fliould do 

 that at all ; but no figns have yet appeared 

 in thofe laid down already), it fhould 

 then be pared and burned again, kept in 

 tillage four or five years, and again laid 

 down. 



Another vaft improvement in the upper 

 lands, where the foil is deep (and in two or 

 three fields it is from 12 to 18 inches), 

 would be the culture of carrots ; No foil can 

 be better adapted to them, or yield better 

 products ; and I am confident, crops might, 

 with thorough good hoeing, be gained here 

 of 500 bufhels per acre, which quantity 

 would, in the feeding of any cattle, be worth 

 twenty-five pounds. 



Mr. Scrooped introdudlion of cabbages on 

 the moor-land, is a moft beneficial trial ; I 

 apprehend he took the hint from M. de 

 TourbillPs Memoir e fur la Defrichements, in 

 which he relates a furprifing improvement 

 of an acre of n-xoory bog, w^hich yielded as 

 many cabbages as fold for 37/. 10 j. : A vafl 

 produce! Any perfon that view^s D^jlton 

 moors, would be fl:artled at the idea of raif- 

 ing cabbages on fuch land ; nor would they 

 believe that 34 tons per acre, over many 

 acres, would ever be produced there, unlefs 

 the fa(ft was proved to them : But Mr, Scroope 

 ha$ realized this affertion. Such crops, or 

 even half the quantity, are noble acquifitions
