23* TURNIPS. 



ever seen any .• the oftener he sows them, the better the 

 husbandry, and no declension, on that account, in the 

 crops hitherto perceived. 



Mr. EvERiT, of Caistor, in Fleg, has no idea of land 

 being tired of turnips in tliat hundred: he thinks they -will 

 bear repeating better than any other crop, 



Mr. Syble, of South Walsham, is of a contrary opi-

 then. 



Mr. Cubit, of Catfield, never observed that any land
