WHEAT. 287 



Mr. Johnson, ofThurning, thinks dibbling so excel- 

 lent a pra<5lice, that equal crops are not to be gained in 

 any oiher way ; but three grains should always be put in 

 every hole ; for on various examinations he has found, that 

 a single kernel in a hole has almost always produced a 

 faint ear, scarcely ever a good one. 



Mr. RisHTON dibbled his wheat when put in on a 

 whole furrow, but would not have done it, only his nieu 

 not skilful enough with the drill for that work. 



Mucii dibbled and well done at Holm. 



Air. GoDDisoN, at Houghton, dibbles from 20 to 30 

 acres every year. But of all ways whicli he has tried of 

 putting in wheat upon tempered land, he is inclined to 

 prefer that of spreading tiie muck, then sowing broad-cast, 

 and plougliing both in together into six-furrow ridges. 

 He drills none. 



Very little dibbling at Castle Riseing : Mr. Beck was 

 in the praflice, but left it off for diilling. 



Dibbling well known all over Marshland. 



Mr, Porter, at Watlington, dibbles much, and thus 

 gets his best crops, rather better than by the diill ; but as 

 he docs not drill ridge work, his best land may be dibbled. 



Dibbling very general about Wymondham, at 9s. to 

 I OS. 6d. an acre. 



Mr. Priest, ofBesthorpe, dibbles his lavers, iftiiev 

 do not plough well for the drill. He this year compared 

 one row on a flag with two, and the former had the best 

 e-ars, and was the stouter crop. He scarified the single 

 rows, but being clean did not h.and-hoe. 



The greatest part of Mr. Twist's farm at Bretenham 

 IS rye land ; but he has some wheat land ; he had 40 acres 

 dibbled in autumn i8oi ; and he di!)bles much rye. He 

 has 50 acres of drilled wheat this year, and the best crop 

 he had.
