NORFOLK. a 
A correfpondent of the Norfolk Chronicle 
cenfures the pradtice of deftroying rooks, as 
highly injurious to the interefts of agri- 
culture. ‘‘ J] am not pretending (he fays) 
to make any new difcovery, when I ‘af- 
fert, that, in almo% every fpot where a thin 
plant of wheat exifts, we thall find, on exa- 
mining the earth, two fpecies of enemies, 
the grub and the wire-worm. ‘Jt is a fa@ 
equally indifputable, that one of the furef 
and mott indeiatigable adverfaries of thefe de- 
- ftruétive infedts i# that poor perfecnted bird 
the rook:”” To prove this aliertion he ad- 
duces the following faét ** A gentleman hav- 
-ing killed @ young rqok or two for the pur- 
pofe of deterring others from fettling upon 
kis new-fown corn, found their’ craws filled 
with a very confiderable number of thefe 
grubs and wire-worms.” He then proceeds :

** It is urged in defence of the prattice of 
thinning-a rookery, that the damage is im- 
mente which they do the farmer by their 
depredations supon his corn in fpring and au-, 
tumn. Suppofing this to be true, yet what 
proportion will the expence of keeping his 
crops at the periods above-mentioned, fay 
three or four guineas upon a farm of five or 
fix hundred acres, bear to the poflible and 
probable lofs of a fingle inclofure of wheat ?” 
The Society of Arts have, voted their gold 
medal to Mr, Plowman, of Brome, in this
