I borrowed oiio of your clod- 
ciusliers of my neighbour, the Uev. 
F. Peel, of Wi'Uinfliam, to roll my 
now-sowu wheat with, on my light 
soil, and am so far satisfied with the 
ttppearance of the wheat now that I 
desire you to scud me one by the 
25th of September. 
For those purposes it is infinitely 
superior to the common land-roller. 
It makes our land more solid, and at 
the s;ime time prevents the dry March 
winds from blowin;^ tiie corn l>are. 
Here again I prefer it, for the 
same reasons as in the answers 
to the preceding questions. 

I have derived most benefit from it in roUini; some light fresh taken- 
up land, ravaijed w ith the w ireworm. The first year I thought nolhing 
could save the wheat; but very soon after using your cruslier it began 
to fasten at the root, and gather. I reaped a very abundant crop. I 
h ive rolled the same description of land twice over with it this year, 
where the wireworm had begun, and my wheat looks very luxuriant. 
I have always rolled my light lands 
with it in the spring, and l)e!ieve it 
equally valuable upon light-land 
farms as upon strong. Wherever 
wheat is grown, anfl wherever tur- 
nips are intended to be grown, it is 
of great benefit. 
I consider it very useful for 
thispurpo^e, if used carlyenoiigh. 
My wheat appears to have im- 
proved after using the clod- 
crusher. 
Especially useful for all lands 
subject to the wireworm and 
grub. 
Upon our heath and clift lands 
after ploughing, and previous to drill- 
ing in the autumn, and again in -the 
spring, it is attended with a very bene- 
ficial effect, it gives a greater degree 
of solidity, and more tirinly secures 
the root. 
I find it, for stopping the ra- 
vages of the wireworm and grub, 
a very useful and effectual im- 
plement. 
In both ca^s I have used the im- 
plement extensively, with consider- 
able advantage. I have derived great 
advantage from consolidating the soil 
after it has been lightened by tlie 
action of the frost. 
P S. In justice to yourself as 
the inventor, I am enabled to 
stite that at no meeting of the 
Royal Agricultural Society has 
there been exhibited any essential 
improvement upon your original 
invention.
