led  to  it  by  improvement  of  system  and  other  advantages  they 
calculate  on  in  the  present  day.  These  facts  are  stated  with  an 
anxious  wish  to  excite  the  present  tenants  to  exert  themselves  in 
retaining  their  occupations  by  adopting  themselves  the  benefits 
contemplated  by  these  competitors,  and  so  supersede  them  by 
themselves  increasing  the  produce  of  their  lands.  Landlords 
can,  in  many  parishes  of  this  district,  assist  the  tenants  by  per- 
mitting the  cultivation  of  the  inferior  pasture  lands,  of  which 
thousands  of  acres  are  now  almost  unproductive,  and  could  be 
cultivated  at  little  or  no  increased  expense  to  the  occupiers.  This 
would  benefit  the  tenant  farmer  and  improve  the  estate,  and  be 
the  best,  or  I may  say,  the  only  resource  in  the  present  prospective 
difficulty.
