"WHEAT- 277 



Mr. AX. Hill's system just the same as Mr. Reeve's; 

 he admits all the preceding pradlicc. 



Mr. Henry Blythe, of Burnham, drills all on the 

 flag, or one furrow, before Michaelmas, but never after; 

 then on tempered land. He finds no difficulty in drilling 

 rjn whole furrow ; he rolls after the plough, and harrows^ 

 tlien drills, and covers with the harrow. 



Mr. DuRSGATE, of Summerneld, whose great success 

 m husbandry gives much weight to the opinions he dra\v\> 

 from his experience, is not partial to putting in wheat upon 

 oUond, except it be done very early ; before Alichaelmas 

 it docs well, but should never be ventured after j all then 

 sown or drilled, should be on tempered land. 



Mr. Styleman, of Snettisham, who puts inhls wheai 

 on pea stubbles, ploughs the layer in February ; rolls the 

 end of that month, or the beginning of March ; and har- 

 rowing to a tilth, drills the pease ; hand-hocs them ; 

 ploughs the stubble once, between three and four inches 

 deep, scarifies, harrows, and drills wl^eat. 



Mr. GoDDisoN, at Houghton, temjicrs about half his 

 laver§, and keeps the rest foj" sheep food. 



At Hillingdon the layers are sown for two vears, but if 

 they fail, ihey are broken up for wheat at oiic year ; some- 

 times for pease. 



Mr. Dennis, at Wigenhall, in the clays of Marshland, 

 sows his wheat on teii-furvow ridges, thinking six-furrow 

 work a loss of land. 



Sort. — There is a notion about Ritkllcsworth, that red 

 wheat will not do on black sand; whire succeeding much 

 better; on this account I found the distin(fiion made on 

 Mr. Be van's farm. 



Mr. Salter, of Winborougb, iowi red wheat only; 

 white sorts do not succeed so well on the heavier soils. 

 It goes by the name of the chJ red.
