the turnips It grew amongst, though,- I suppose, hoed ofF 

 when the turnips were set out. 



Mr. Be VAN sowed an acre of poor sand, worth not 

 more than 2s. 6d. rent, with chicory, in 1793, and the 

 next year it produced 7I. 10s. in seed. 



In company with the Member for the County, at Swaf- 

 ham, on the 19th of June, we could get nothing but salt 

 butter. I hope the farmers there have found out that chi- 

 cory is not worthy of attention. 



Observation. — I have taken several opportunities of re- 

 commending this grass in Norfolk. On large tra6ts of 

 poor land in that county, 1 am confident it v/ould increase 

 the produce ten-fold, and it well merits trial on every soil 

 in it. The objedtion, which has been founded on its not 

 being easily extirpated, is of no importance, for tares 

 should be sown after it on some soils, and turnips on others, 

 in which system its destrudlion is unquestioned.
