20? COURSE or CROPS. 



Mr. Reeve muckeil a barley stubble for vetches, 

 ploughed once for that crop ; and then drilled wheat on 

 one other ploughing. The stubble clean as a garden.

Mr. M. Hill has now (1802) on his farm a very fine 

 field of wliear, drilled on the flag of a four years layer : 

 he remarked it as an instance of confidence in his landlord 

 (Mr. Coke}, not to have broken it up sooner at the end 

 of a lease. 



The same farmer sows cole after winter vetches fed off; 

 eats it off at Michaelmas ; sows rye for spring feed j eats 

 that off, and tills for turnips, getting four green crops to 

 feed on the land in two years. Excellent husbandry. 



Mr. Henry Blythe, of Burnham, is in the five- 

 shifts ; the seeds for two years. 



The following detail of all the courses pursued by Mr_ 

 DuRSGATE, onhisfinefaim of Summerfieki, is, in my 

 opinion, a most satisfa61ory account of Norfolk husbandry^ 

 shewing the very considerable exertions made in this coun- 

 ty for the great obje£ts of keeping land clean and in heart : 

 the particulars merit a close examination. These fields 

 contain near 1050 acres.
