The following experiments and remarks 

 of Mr. William Penny, who keeps the Inn 

 at Bend/worth, are much worthy of notice. 

 He is very fenfible and intelligent. 



In the planting of wheat he made this 

 trial : Upon a loamy foil, a mixture of clay 

 and fand, he fet a peck of wheat on the 

 third of an acre, in rows, nine inches afun- 

 der, and fix inches from grain to grain : 

 The land had been well fallowed : The 

 crop was neither hand hoed nor hand 

 weeded: Product thirty-four pecks; but 

 tiiere being a path acrois the field, wafted 

 a fifth : Total, therefore forty pecks, or, 

 per acre, thirty bulhels. This is a very 

 great product from fo fmall a quantity of 

 feed, and proves much in favour of the advo- 

 cates for thinner feeding than common. The 

 expence of planting was 3^. or 9 s. per acre.
