From the firft view of this table it is evi- 

 dent that rent has very little concern in the 

 production of peafe : The mixture may be 

 confidered as the fame thing, as beans are 

 generally fown rather with an intention of 

 fupporting the peafe than of having a dou^ 

 ble crop ; fometimes one will fail and ano- 

 ther fucceed ; and the bean £>eing a better 

 bearer than the pea, makes the fuperiority 

 of four bufhels on the fide of the mixture. 

 But it is remarkable that the rent from 5 s. 

 to ioj. mould produce as large a crop as 

 from i$s. to 20J. And in peafe alone ioj*. 

 to 1 5 J", yields more than from 20L to 40 s. 

 In a word, the product clearly appears to be 

 very little connected with rent, and that in 

 the hoed as well as the unhoed crops : Our 

 common experience juftines this refult, for 

 I have many times obferved, that this tick- 

 lifh crop often fails where it has been mod 

 expected to yield largely, and frequently on 

 poor dry fandy foils to produce crops that 

 have furprized the owners. This, I think, 

 mould be a leffon to the occupiers of good 



lands
