AGRICULTURAL REPORT FOR

NOVEMBER.

The fortunate conclusion of wheat sowing was the
signal for expediting what remained of getting up the
potato crop, and storing mange'. wurzel. Next in order
came ploughing up the stubbles for spring fellows, which
is generally in great forwardness, as have been all our au-
tumnal occupations. Some partial and temporary inter-
ruptions to getting in the wheat seed occurred, from the
dry end bourn) state of the soil, which was fortunately re-
lieved by intervening showers : indeed, this drought was
a: feather in the scale of interruption, compared with,
we are almost ashamed to repeat, the nearly universal
foul state of the lands, the report of which is echoed from
one end of the island to the other. The couch grass and
weeds bore such a luxuriant head, in many parts, that
it was found no easy matter to cover the seed ; and on '
such lands the young wheats have come up so thin and
so poor, that it has not been judged prudent to risk
the crop ; it has been ploughed up, and, in all pro-
battik), the season and the labour have been lost.—
These foul tilths, besides abounding in couch grass,
afford a most nourishing and convenient harbour
for the slugs, which also generally abound on clover leys.
The greater part of the young wheats, fortunately, have
the most promisittelOpearance; and on the best lands

. _
there is some apprehension of over luxuriance. The opi-
nion formerly given seems universal, that' the shortness of
the late crop, and the favourable state of the weather for
sowing, have had each a poWerful influence on the fat nWrs,
that .a greater breadth of land has been sown with wheat,
during the present season, than was ever known in Britain.
It is averred that one-fifth part of the crop of %drat has
been expended in seed.
To recur to the late crops—we stated in our last, to the

utmost verge of probability, the satisfactory reports ; some
of them, indeed, of a very flattering nature. On the other
hand, it must not be concealed, that as we advance in ex-
perience of the quality end produce of the new wheats ge-
nerally, the original opinion is fully confirmed of their de-
ficiency in both respects. The uncommonly great quan-
tities threshed have afforded very ample opportunities of
forming a judgment. It is said that unusual quantities for
the season, of new barleys, likewise, have been at market.
