Davies,  Thomas, 
Mischief  generally  done  when  in  a dry 
Longleat. 
time  in  the  Wheat  Kerning  a 
misling  rain  happens.  We  have 
known  something  of  this  disease  for 
25  years.  Much  damage  in  1803, 
and  still  more  in  1804.  Whenever 
a plant  of  wheat  grows  on  a dunghill 
the  ears  are  almost  always  blighted. 
Tare  crops,  thin  crops,  and  crops  on 
light  land,  where  the  plants  have  not 
good  firm  foothold,  seldom  miss  the 
blight.  Land  worn  out  with  cropping 
or  made  too  light  with  manure  will 
produce  the  same  effect. — xliii.  456.
