286 WHEAT. 



though they contain so much sanJ, -vvlll not do well if 

 ■wheat is put in in the wet ; pretty dry weather docs nmch 

 better. 



Mr. Syble, of South Walshnm, this year (1802) dib- 

 bled 60 acres ; Mr. Heath, of Hemlington, the whole 

 of his crop on a farm of 500 acres. Mr. Francis, at 

 Martham, all for ?ome years past. 



There is a great deal dibbled all through Tunsted and 

 Happing hundreds ; and also through all North and South 

 Erpinghani : it rather declines about North Walsham, for 

 want of good droppers. 



Mr. Petre dibbles about one-fifth of his crop, amount- 

 ing to 100 acres ; some drilled, and the rest sown ; the 

 best ears from the dibbled, but the drilled good. 



About Norwich they have dibbled one row on a flag; 

 but not putting in the same cjuamity of seed. They gene- 

 rally prefer two rows, and nine pecks an acre: Mr. 

 Crow never saw a good crop of wheat in his life that 

 was thin: this icmaik has tliorough good sense in if, and 

 he further notices, that if there is any mildew stirring, it 

 is sure to attack such a crop severely. 



Drilling has been tried about Blowfield, Acle, &c. but 

 dibbling preferred l>y many as superior. 1 hey put in two 

 rows on a flag, and hnd it the best pra£l:ice of all. 



Mr. Dyble, of Scotter, dibbles much of his wlieat, 

 and has compared it with broad-cast in the same field, 

 which it exceeded sufficiently to give him full satisfadlion. 



Dibbling common about Aylesham, but does not in- 

 crease. 



It increases about Reepham. 



The cleanest crops at Haydpn are those which are dib- 

 bled on a whole furrow. Ten shiUings to ten shillings 

 and si. X pence an acre.
