caused the variation of substituting trefoil for one round, 

 and the clover being sown but once in nine years, the evil 

 was removed; 



I found the same account every where in the South of 

 the county, that the land (whatever the soil) was what 

 they call sick of clover. Formerly it was sown every 

 fourth or fifth vear ; but now if it returns so often it fails, 

 for acres together: thev therefore sow clover in one rou)id, 

 and then substitute white clover and trefoil, adding a little 

 rav-grass, but as little as they can help* Whether the 

 wheat is as good after these seeds as after clover, is rather 

 an unsettled point. In discourse with Mr. Burton, of 

 Langley, a most intelligent observer, upon this question, 

 he said, that he himself got as good wheat after white 

 Dutch as after red clover, but that he believed the true 

 change for the soil would be to sow no seeds at all ; and 

 he shewed me a large field of red clover, part of which 

 was very regular and good, and part inferior : the former 

 was in a course where no seeds had been sown, and the 

 latter where Dutch and trefoil were introduced : a strong 

 confirmation of his remark. 



Mr. FovvEL, of Snetterton, six pecks of ray, six pounds 

 of clover or trefoil, four of white clover, for two years. 

 i recommended him to try chicory, as well as to substitute 

 cocksfoot for ray. 



The land around Hingham is tired of producing this 

 crop, and causes the variation of sowing ray, trefoil, and 

 •white clover : but Mr. Heath has sown no ray of late 

 years, for he has found it inju^^e the land, so that he never 

 observes such goo<l wheat after it as after otiicr gras es. 



About VVatton, if clover alone, ten or twelve pound ; 

 but if on land which has been found apt to fail, eight 

 pound of clover ; six or eight of trefoil, and half a peck of 

 ray: but Mr. Robinson has a bad opinion of ray, espe-
