MARLE. 409 



?way/(f is the expression ; ten loads an acre on strong land, 

 and eight on Hght ; and lasts above 20 years. 



Good yellowish raarle at Cokishal j they spread 12 

 ioads an acre, and it lasts 14 vears. 



Much at Oxnead, &c. j Mr. Repton lays 20 small 

 loads an acre : it lasts 20 years : a second marling answers 

 well : the foulness of land shews the want of marling. He 

 spreads on the layers, and thinks that the longer it is kept 

 on the surface the better. 



Mr. Reeves, of Heveringiand, who is a very attentive 

 and spirited farmer, lays on 28 loads an acre of clay-marle, 

 fi-ee of callou,', which he reckons equal to 40 to take all 

 as it comes ; but as this demands a greater depth of pit, he 

 reclcons that it costs him yd. or lod. a load. 



Mr. BiRCHAM, at Hackford, from 40 to 60 loads;

 best by far, 10 loads as good as 40 of other sorts. It pre-

 has found that the best way of applying it then, is by com-

 ch am has found bad for turnips, except when it is wanted 

 to get a farm done as quickly as possible. 



Mr. Johnson, at Thurning, clays, 40 loads an acre, 

 which lasts 20 years : it is best on a layer, but hurts the 

 grasses to the amount of half the produce : he reckons tliat 

 the longer it is kept above ground the better. Much marie 

 about Holt. 



Ail the land about Binham is marled that wants it. Mr. 

 E>."GLAND lays on from 40 to 50 large loads an acre: it 

 lasts 20 years ; but this depends on soil. He thinks it best
