SOIL. ^^ 



a large trail of sea-sliingle, which bears little more than 

 eringo : he sowed some chicory seed on it for experi- 

 ment, but it never vegetated. 



The soil of Houghton, is sand on chalk and marie : 

 that of Harpley better ; the Rudhams good ; Bagthorpe 

 light ; the Birchams ordinary ; Anmer is better, but all 

 sand. 



Ar Hlliingdon there is some black sand and gravel ; a 

 poor soil, but the hills are chalk : tlie sands all apt to be 

 more foul than the chalk. 



Much blowing sand at Riseing ; and the evil of some of 

 the soil there is, its being free from stones, and for that 

 reason bu>ns much ; on which account Mr. Beck disap- 

 proves of picking stones. The remark is very judicious. 

 To deep sands he thinks twitch so natural, that it is im- 

 possible to free them from it : if the field is made ever so 

 clean, and lays two years, there will be some. 



There is some sand that burns, at Grimstone. The 

 soil of Massingham is much better, and never burns. 



At Guyton the soil has a mixture of stones, and is the 

 better for it. 



At Morston, near the sea, there is some land so covered 

 with stones, as to appear to the eye to contain little be- 

 sides ; but excellent for corn ; 1 1 combs an acre of 

 white vetches have been gained on it. Much good land 

 is found at Cley. 



Sarsingham, Dawling, BInham, are good sand ; the 

 loam on white clay marie. 



Wighton, sandy loam ; good mixed soil, on clay marie ; 

 but some is inferior. 



In Sherrington, Hindringham, and Kilderston, there is 

 much strong land, upon which hollow-draining is prac- 

 tised.
