GENERAL OBSERVATION. 



Mr. Burton, of Langley, on all wet commons, recom- 

 mends to under-ground drain before breaking up; and 

 where level, to clay it also. To be began at Midsummer, 

 then left to March, when it should be ploughed and oats 

 dibbled : and if it was left a year or more tor grass to get 

 up, it might be the better. After tlie oats, if not clayed 

 before, clay it : if it was clayed, scale in the stubble att^r 

 harvest, and plough three or four times for oats, to be 

 sown broad-cast. After that, fallow for turnips, and pur- 

 sue the common husbandry, which would want no muck' 

 for a few years.
