COURSE OF CROPS. 211 



Norfolk husbandry is a due change and variation of crops, 

 as beans, carrots, Sec. 



At WatHngton the same four-shift course : if clover 

 fails, pease, and then wheat. 



Mr. RoGERSON, at Narborough, on very poor sand, 

 the five-shift, the seeds lying two years: but on the worst 

 land, instead of wheat in the fifth year, rye, barley, 

 vetches, pease, or Tartarian oats. He had no wheat this 

 year (1802). 



About Wymondham : 



1. Turnips, 



2. Barley, 



3. Clover ; or clover, trefoil, white clover and ray^ 



one year. 



4. Wheat, 



5. Barley, but with exceptions. If the seeds fail, 

 dibble pease sometimes, and take wheat after. 



At Besthorpe : 



1. Turnips, 4. Wheat, 



2. Barley, ■ 5. Barley ; 



3. Clover, &c. 



but Mr, Priest leaves oiit this last crop. 

 Mr. Twist, at Bretenham : 



1. Turnips, 4. Ditto, 



2. Barley, 5. Rye, on one or on 



3. Trefoil and ray grass, three eaiths. 

 At Acle, on some of the finest wheat land in the county : 



1. Turnips, 4. Wheat, 



2. Barley, 5. Pease, 



3. Clover, 6. Wheat. 



At Halvergate also, very fine land in the same course. 

 If clover follows once in four years, it is sure to fail. 



Thirty years ago, a course I met with in Fleg hundred 

 was :
