the clennest and the best coloured is afrer turnips ; and 

 they find that the barley after wheat, in a six year's shite 

 (the seeds lying two years), is much better than in the five 

 shift, in which the seeds remain but one year. 



Mr. Cubit, of Honing, also gets the best crops of 

 barley after wheat, but attributes it to the pulling and 

 throwing turnips on tlie wheat stubbles; but he remarks, 

 that the throwing business seldom answers, except in very 

 dry weather. 



Mr. Repton, at Oxnead, generally gets better barley 

 after wiieat than after turnips, but the latter all drawn. 



Mr. Johnson, at Thurning, gets as good barley after 

 wheat on four earths, as after turnips. 



Mr. EvERiT, of Caistor, in Fleg, observes, that if tur- 

 nips are fed off by sheep early, that is, by December, then 

 the barley is much better than what is gained after wheat ; 

 but if the turnips are fed in the spring, in March for in- 

 stance, the barley after wheat beats it. 



Mr. Francis, of Martham, upon the whole, has rather 

 better barley after turnips than after wheat, but the latter 

 the greatest bulk: the turnips carted away. 



Mr. Parmenter, of Aylesham, has compared the 

 barley after turnips fed on the land, and carted off; and 

 the superiority of the fortner is very great, greater than 

 he should have imagined ; of course he has many doubts 

 on the common prad^ice of carting off for bullocks. 



Mr. SrvLEMAN has observed a manifest superiority in 

 his barley, from giving the sheep hay while feeding the 

 turnip crop. 



2. Tillage. — About Walton all is put in on two earths 

 and an half; the first clean, the second 10:0 furrow work^ 

 or ribbling, and the third clean burying the seed. No 

 one-horse ploughs. But if the turnips are very late on the 

 ground, then only one earth, and the seed harrowed in.
