Query 2. — How far valuable, upon strong lands, for rolling 
corn as soon as sown, and lands sown late in the year, which are 
cloddy in the spring ? 
Qiery 3. — How far valuable, upon light lands, for rolling corn 
as soon as sown, and in the spring, after frost? 
Query 4. — How far valuable in stopping the ravages of the 
wireworm and grub ? 
Query 5. — How far valuable upon grass-lands, upon mossy 
lands, and worm in meadow-lands ? 
REPOHTS. 
Query 3— Light l/ands. 
Query 4 — Wireworm and Grub. 
Query 5— Grass Lands, &c. 
Of great value iu giving fiimness to 
li;;ht laud immediately after sowing, 
both for wheat and spring crops, as it 
jjivos a peculiar closeness to tlie soil, 
which enables it to retain moisture at 
the same lime that it leaves tlie sur- 
face rough, and therefore not liable 
to scarp. It lias been one of the prin- 
cipal means whereby I have been 
enabled to grow very heavy wheat- 
crops upon land which was considered 
not vci'y "00(1 wliciit'l'iiiid- 
Of great utility in both cases. 
On one part of my farm, which is 
of a light, peaty nature, it is far su- 
perior to the presser in preventing 
the wheat-plant from rooting up by 
frosl in the winter- 
Most valuable in stopping the 
ravages of the slug or grub, on 
my strong land, by rolling the 
seed immediately after plough 
ing, in the autumn. 
The oftener rolled the better, on 
light land, more particularly wlieat 
and oats. 
More valuable even in this than 
any other use. 
A great preventive when corn 
is coming up. 
I have found it valuable for rolling 
oats ; it does not injure the plants at 
all.
