COURSE OF CROPS. I99 



sick of it. Upon a part, white clover, trefoil, and ray are 

 sul)stitured, and left two years ; about one third of the 

 wheat is on a two years layer. If the clover be a good 

 crop, the wheat is bjetter than after the other seeds. I'he 

 barley after wheat (if that followed a two years lay), 

 is better than after turnips. Bat Mr. Syble, if the 

 land is foul after the first wheat, is sure then to take 

 turnips. Sometimes pease on a two years lay, and 

 then wlieat ; hut Mr. Syble does not like pease, from 

 their being so liable to failure. He is of opinion that the 

 husbandry of Fleg and Blowfield wants variation, from 

 having been kept too long in a regular course. One which 

 has succeeded with him, is to sow barley after pease or 

 vetches, in which way he has had great crops. 



At Repps and Martham the common Fleg five-shift 

 husbandry ; that is, barley follows wheat; clover and 

 other seeds alternate, and the wheat as good after one a^s 

 the other. 



At Ludham, the common five-shift. 



At Catfield I found a variation ; here the course is a six- 

 shift husbandry : 



1. Turnips, 4. Clover, &c. 



2. Barley, 5. Wheat, 



3. Clover, &c. 6. Barley. 



Mr- Cubit praflises this in common with his neighr 

 bours ; the seeds riffled the second year before harvest, 

 that is, r'lce-baulkcdy raftered, half ploughed : some scaled^ 

 a clean earth, as thin as possible ; the management Mr. 

 Thurteli. reprobated for his soil; and wiiat is singular, 

 they seem to do it with equal reference to dibbling and 

 broad-casting. 



At Honing the same as at Catfield. All around North 



Walsham the same ; and thence to Preston, Cromer, and
