 London I attended a lecture of Dr. Ryan's at the Poly-

 just before in Albany-street, London ; he mentioned

y to the enquiry contained in 

 your number of this morning I beg to state that the 

 drdl mentioned by me is not for depositing seeds, but 

 light and very fine manure. I consider the mode of 

 sowing green crops should be the following. The ground 

 having been h < deep, should 



be laid perfectly flat and level. The con

has a wonderful power of forcing bulbous r 



tenant. The Mangold on it is flourishing, the Carrots 

 and Parsnips promising. I am decidedly of opinion 

 that all ground for all sort of crops should be laid en 

 what is commonly called a dead flat. TIki 

 no furrow if possible, and no hollow ; if there be tl 

 latter in any part, after being ploughed, it should 1

Grubs no doubt may abound ; but these, like ins 

 that in muck begun, are propagated by wet. Let 

 the land be laid equally dry, and there will be no r 

 of salt to kill grubs, there will be no grubbing witl 

 it. Besides the land r

ow nno irom Mr. M'Artnur that tne r< 

 will make shoots of 3 feet and more. These will derr 

 benefit from the whole manure having been fir 

 incorporated in the soil, and then by having that of 

 more forcing quality placed immediately upon thei 



this account it is best to have this operation performed 

 in wet or showery weather, but if this advantage can 

 be obtained, it may be as well to follow the denosi 



vator, which will assist in covering the greater par

 plans here suggested for growing green crops

 very little at present of the capabilities of soils,

Mr. John Casey of Bagnalston. Resolved that rents 

 in this country, together with county cess tithe, 



ruinously disproportionate to the produce of the soil, 



farms. That a rate for the relief of the poor, a just 

 and sacred charge on property, being imposed chiefly 

 on the already overburdened tenants of Ireland, has 

 completely overwhelmed this important class, depriving 

 them of the capital necessary for the proper cultivation 

 of the soil, and thereby annihilating all hope of agri- 

 cultural prosperity. That it is the deliberate opinion of 



remaining unaltered, save the great majority of the 

 farmers of this country from hopeless poverty, and that 

 such destruction, necessarily increasing the burdens on 

 the surviving minority, will ere long involve all classes 

 in one common ruin. That unless the legislature and
