BARLEY. 247 



Mr. Havers, at Thelton, drills barley, and has this 

 year a very fine crop, In that method^ 



Mr. Pitts, of Thorpe Abbots, drills barley on the 

 flag, one earth on white clover, and trefoil layers ; by this 

 means he gets it in much earlier than common, which, on 

 a burning gravel, he finds of great consequence ; other- 

 wise the crops are apt to go ofFin July, however well they 

 might look in May and June. 



Mr. Thurtell, near Yarmouth, has for two years 

 drilled much : he drills on fRe second earth on his turnip 

 land ; saving the third, usually given for broad-cast bar- 

 ley : the rows at six inches. 



Mr. Heath, of Hemlington, gets very fine crops, by 

 drilling on two ploughlngs. 



Mr. Syble, of South Walsham, approves much of the 

 husbandry, and intends pradising it more, but will give 

 the three earths, which he thinks necessary. He has 

 this a year a very fine crop drilled, which I viewed ; tlie 

 rows at seven inches. 



Mr. Petre, at Westwick, drills at nine inches, with 

 Cook's drill, and thus gets his best crops: eight to ten 

 coombs. 



Mr. Dyble, of Scotter, this year (1802) drilled some 

 barley on three earths, saving one, and these were his 

 best crops, by two coombs an acre ; the rows at six and 

 nine inches ; but he prefers seven. 



Mr. P-ALGRAVE, at Colcishal,gets as much barley from 

 two bushels drilled, as trom four broad-cast. 



Mr. Repton has, from much experience, an high 

 opinion of drilling barley. He began in April, 1790, 

 when he drilled 46 acres, with 30 coombs 3 bushels of 

 seed ; saving 15 coombs i bushel, which, at lis. 6d. was
