Mr. Repton, at Oxneml, dibbles one inch, 



Mr. BiRCHAM, atHackford, two inches and a half.

 than half through the flag is best. 



Ml'. England, of Binham, two inches and a half, on 

 a flag. 



Mr. EisHTON, at Thornham, one inch and a half, 



Mr. Styleman thinks the depth a matter of great im- 

 poriance ; he drills two inches and a half deep, by weight- 

 ing Cook's machine, and using two horses ; if only one, 

 he should he of extraordinary strength. 



Mr. Porter, at V/atlington, two inches. 



Mr. Priest, of Besthorpe, thinks, that if wheat be 

 not buried horn one inch and a half to two inches, it is 

 apt to be root-fallen. 



Mr. M. Hill one inch and a half; but by no means 

 more. 



Mr. Overman diills his wheat one incli and a Iialf 

 deep on sandy soils, rendered light by cultivation ; but on 

 layers once ploughed, one inch only. 



fVith turnips. — Mr. Walker, of Harpley^ some years 

 ago, Introduced and prn6lised a husbandry in which he 

 ■was entirely original. I viewed his farm, while these ex- 

 periments were going on, ior two successive years. In 

 order to give a greater degree of stiffness to liis sandy soil, 

 he thought of putting in wheat without any ploughing at 

 all, immediately before sowing. He began with six acres 

 of turnips, hoeing in the wheat seed at the second hoeing 

 of the turnips: these were eaten on the land by bullocks 

 and sheep. The wheat proved good, and answered ex- 

 peilation. The next year he did the same on 35 acres : 

 this also succeeded; but the best wheat was where the tur- 

 nips were eaten in the driest weather. The following 

 year he extended the culture to 70 acres, which also 



succeeded
