as ]i« intends for pease, in December or January^ and 

 rolls and harrows before drilling on this stale furrow. 

 His mode of drilling this crop, is to h.ave two rows at five 

 inches, and intervals of fifteen inclies for horse-hoeing. I 

 viewed his crops, they were very well hung, that is, loaded 

 with pods, but too many poppies lor a driller. Horse- 

 hoemg, in this system, he finds far more efFe6tive than the 

 Jiand-hocing h': gave to equi-distant rows at twelve inclies. 

 For this drilling, he made a nev/ beam to Cook's machine, 



Mr.' PvEEVES, of Heveringland, drills his pease at nine 

 inches ; and highly approves the method. 



Mr. Johnson, at Thurning, drills all' at nine incites. 



Mi. Styleman, at Snettisluim, drills all; some at 

 nine and sonie at twelve inches : hand-hoeing, once or 

 twice, as wanted. 



Mr. Roger SON, of Narborough, drills all that he 

 jdoes not dibble. 



Mr. M. Hill drills at nine inches on the flag, scarifies 

 twice, and weeds ; and prefers that practice to all others. 



Pease are very geneially dibbled at Thchon ; crops, 

 eight to ten coombs per acre. 



Wherever found, thence to Yarmouth, and my route 

 through the Flegs, Blowfield, &:c. &c. to North Wal- 

 sham, dibbling very general : about the latter town, few, 

 but what there are, dibbled; they do not hoe them. The

Few pease are dibbled on ollonds at Scotlcr ; but some 

 are; and Mr. Dyble remarked, that pease cannot well 

 be dibbled too deep. 



Mr. RePTon, at Oxnead, dibldes with great success : 

 lie had this year (1802) seventy loads froin twelve acres. 



The maple grey is a great favourite at present in Flcg
