GLOVER. a6i: 



opinion, founded on much experience, that the wheat fol- 

 lowing was better than after feeding. 



IMr. Layton, of East Norfolk, was clear from nu- 

 merous observations, that clover mown twice for hay, 

 gave better wlieat than clover fed, by the diiicrence of a 

 small coat of dung : the soil sandy. He attributed the ef- 

 fect to covering the soil from the sun. 



^^ In East Norfolk it is universally made into large cocks, 

 as soon as it is weathered enough to prevent its damaging 

 in these cocks ; in which it frequently stands a week, or 

 perhaps a fortnight. The leaf and the heads aje thus saved 

 before it become too crisp ; but heavy rains do.it injury in 

 this state." — Marshall, 



The trifolium procumbensy called red suckling, cultivated 

 about Norwich for the profit of the seed, as it yields a 

 large quantity : said not to have any merit comparable to 

 clover or to trefoil. 



Mr. Repton, at Oxnead, twelve pound of clover, 

 three pound of white suckling, and half a peck of ray- 

 grass; clover will not stand the second year, but the 

 white and the ray succeed. 



About Aylesham the land is sick of clover. 



Mr. Reeves, of Heveringland, changes his rounds from 

 clover to trefoil and suckling ; when it fails, takes pease. 



Mr. BiRCHAM, of Hackford, finds that clover fails if 

 sown oftener than once in twelve years : he was in the 

 four-shift course, but the land grew quite sick of clover: 

 now in one round are substituted one peck of trefoil, two 

 pecks of ray, and three or four pound of white Dutch, 

 Whether these, or clover and ray, they are all for two 

 years. 



Mr. Johnson, of Thurning, finds that clover has long 



worn out the second year, but now half of it is lost even 



the first. His substitutes are white suckling, black non-
