On Improvements effected by Draining.

The expenditure upon the farm since the occupation is as 
shown in the following table ; but the charge for subsoil plough- 
ing and carting stone to drains ought not to be added to the 
expenditure, as stated above, because that expense is included in 
the working of the farm, and all team labour hired for lugging 
lime and working land is charged in the farm expenses.

Having shown the expenditure, I shall now give you an account 
of the produce in imperial bushels in the years 1822, 1825, and 
1828. The quantities I have taken from the tithe, having been 
employed to value them in those years. Subsequently, from 
1836 to 1843, the number of bushels per acre (both those years 
inclusive) has been taken from actual ])roduce, which shows a
