I have no e.\perience of its >isc in

gine it would be greater even than on 
strong land. 
It is very eflRcient in stopping 
the ravages of the wireworm. 
One of my tenants borrowed niy 
clod-crusher to roll a field of 
barley. It was almost destroyed 
by the wireworm. It was so 
much injured that the prospect 
of a crop was estimated not to 
be worth more than I/, per acre, 
loam. After once rolling with 
the wireworm stopped entirely, 
quarters per acre. 
The land was a good but a strong

Tlie crop of bailey yielded 7 
It is of great use upon light arable 
land, as it gives requisite compres- 
sion without leaving a smooth sur- 
faei'. I have found it valuable for 
rolling turnips when the surface is 
crusted. 
P.S. I do not know a farm of 
any dfscription whatever where- 
on it is not applicable with be- 
nefit to the occupier. No farm 
of considerable extent ought to 
be without one. 
An invaluable implement; it 
stops the ravages of the wireworm 
must effectualtij. 
I am nnich pleased with its opera- 
lion : it presses the soil to the roots 
of the plant, and leaves the land 
firm. It acts in the same manner as 
a gardfiner presses the soil to the roots 
of a plant with a setting-stich. The 
common roller acts as if, after put- 
ting his plant into the hole, he merely 
contented himself with putting his 
foot upon it. 
This question I can answir 
most decidedly. I am much 
troubled with the wireworm, and 
generally 1 have found once roll- 
ing with your clod-crusher suffi- 
cient, when the land is in a 
proper state. / have never found 
the wirew(rrm able to work after 
twice rolling.
