About Watton, average ten coombs.

SECT. X. PEASE. 



Mr. Overman, carrying me into a crop of hroad-cast 

 pease in his neighbourhood, desired me to examine the 

 strongest tufts to i>e found, to shew that the poppies, so far 

 from being destroyed, were cre6t and ready to force them- 

 selves through when the pease fall, tiii^ugh overtopped at 

 present. He remarked, that the common observation, 

 that pease are apt to foul land if weak, and clean it, if 

 stout, was erroneous: if red-weed or spear-grass are m 

 the land, no crop will destroy them ; and if they aic not 

 in the land, the pease cannot generate them. 



Mr. Overman, from various observations, is of opi- 

 nion, that if pease are repeated oftener than once in eleven 

 or twelve years, they are very ap: to fail. 



Mr. Syele, of South Walsham, has found that pease 

 are a verv uncertain crop : this is known to all farmers; 

 but he has remarked further, that they will not boar re- 

 peatino". If sown often on the same land, they are almost 

 sure to fail. 



Mr. EvERiT, of Caistor, has this year (1802) a vast 

 , crop of pease, which I viewed with pleasure ; he lays them 

 at twelve coombs an acre at least : tlicy followed wheat ; 

 and his ren>ark was, that they had shaded the ground so 

 completely^ that he had no doubt of very fine wheat after 

 them again.
