BARLEY. . 241 



At Repps and Martham, three earths for barley, -whe- 

 ther after turnips or wheat. Mr. Francis is very care- 

 ful not to touch the land till it is dry in March, and thinks 

 that all winter ploughing is mischievous. He has tried 

 putting in barley on one earth, but never knew it answer. 



At Ludham, three earths to turnip-land, for barley ; 

 but Mr. HoRNARD, this year, put some in on two, and 

 never had a better crop. He ploughs it in with one-horse 

 ploughs, and now has a double plough for the same work, 

 which answers better. 



At Catfield, diree or four earths to turnip-land, for 

 barley. Mr. Margateson, at North Walsham, three

 seed after turnips, and harrows in that sown on wheat 

 stubbles. Here and there are one-horse ploughs, but not 

 common. 



Mr. Parmenter, of Aylesham, puts in with one- 

 horse ploughs. 



Mr. Dyble, of Scotter, sometimes three earths, but 

 oftener four, and has given five after turnips, and also af-

At Oxnead, Mr. Repton, four or five earths for tur- 

 nip-land barley. 



Mr. Birch AM, three earths. 



Mr. England, ofBinham, if his turnip-land is quite 

 clean, rarely more than two earths to prepare for the drill, 

 but three if wanted. 



Mr. Reeve, of Wighton, this year (1802) scaled 

 some of his turnip-land in January, and left it till the be- 

 ginning of March, then harrowed, and gave a stirring 

 earth ; rolled it with a light roller, and left it till the end
