Mr. Drake gets better turnips after wheat, the stubble

Mr. Drozier remarked, that upon the sandy land of 

 Rudham, and that vicinity, the greatest improvement 

 perhaps would be, to lay down for eight or ten years to 

 repose, the land from turnips and corn, which would so 

 fieshen it as to render it produdlive perhaps in the stile of 

 the first breaking up ; but common grasses wear out, and 

 will not pay the present rents after two years: they sow 

 (refoii and ray.
