The same practice takes place about North Walshanrf^ 

 and it is reckoned by some, on the heavier soils, as good 

 as half a mucking ; but Mr. Margateson remarks, that 

 if done on light sand it makes it too loose and puffy. 



Mr. Petre, of Westwick, sows some on ollond, for 

 a crop, and then sowing wheat, is sure of a good pro- 

 duce. 



Mr. Dyble, of Scotter, has a good opinion of plough- 

 ing in green crops : he once in a first year's layer ploughed 

 in the secc^nd crop of clover, spreading no muck there, 

 the rest of the field mucked, and the wheat was as good as 

 the rest. 



It was much cultivated when I was at Ayleshnm, 32 

 tears ago ; they ploughed three or four times for it ; sowed 

 the beginning of July five pecks an acre : the average 

 crop four quarters an acre : sometimes they got six. 

 Esteem it as good as oats for horses. Wlieat always suc- 

 ceeded it, and rarely failed of producing good crops: 

 sometimes they ploughed it in on cold springy land, using 

 a small bush faggot before the ploughs, to lay it in the 

 right diredlion for turning in: it answered for two crops 

 better than dung. 



Ml". PvEPToN, sows buck on ollonds, and ploughs it in 

 for wheat: it answers well, 



Mr. Reeve, of Wighton, has ploughed buck In for 

 manure, but thinks his land hardly strong enough for this 

 husbandry ; but on any piece subjedl to wild oats, by sow- 

 ing buck after barley, on four earths, and ploughing it in 

 at the beginning of August, in full flower, he has freed 

 land from that weed most completely. 



Mr. Styleman, at Snettisham, has this year plough- 

 ed in buck for manure ; it was sown the middle of May, 

 and ploughed in in full blossom tiie middle of August 5 

 stirred in September, and is ready for the wheat-seed earth.
