Leaving Lifburn, took the road to Belfaft, 

 repeating my enquiries ; in a few miles I 

 found the average rent 16s. per Cunningham 

 acre. Much flax fown, three bufhels and a 

 half of feed generally fown to an acre. Eight 

 ftone of flax, from half a bufhel of feed, is 

 reckoned a very good crop. If they have not 

 land of their own for fowing, they pay 12s. 

 rent for what half a bufhel requires : this is 

 4I. 4s. per acre, but it includes ploughing, 

 harrowing, and getting ready for the feed.
