210 COURSE OF CROPS. 



Partofonft of Mr. Dursgate's fields was sammer- 

 fallow and part pease ; the whole then sown with wheat, 

 which was better after the pease than after the fallow ; 

 the crop was damaged by the wire worm, against which 

 he has found fallowing no security. 



Mr. RisHTON, at Thornham, the old four-shift, of

 wheat, some pease, and then wheat ; but tjie land thus 

 getting foul, Mr. Beck has not pradlised it of lateyears^ 

 When he has taken turnips after pease, he has fed them 

 off in time for wheat, on one earth broad-cast on four- 

 furrow work. 



The old four-shift at Grimstone. 



The same to the east of the Ouze around Downham, 

 for some miles ; sometimes the seeds are left two years, 

 but in general only one: the course, however, is not by 

 all adhered to, for some sow barley after wheat — some few 

 beans. Mr. Saffory thinks that the grand point now in
