TO THE AGIttCULTURISTS OF LINCOLNSHIRE, a,.
A_ Newly-discovered Wheat, " Four-square-heided-Red
Britannia," by THOS. FULLARD. Thorney, near
Peterborne, fresh imported, fresh to the soil, fresh to the
atmosphere. One quarter of it will sow front 6to 7 acres.
The production of this seed this year has proved beyond a
doubt that it is well calculated for this cvntry. Lord
Chesterfield's representative has the highesVoninion of it,
and numbers of the largest farmers in e six adjoining
counties say they never witnessed any thit • equal to it. One
gentleman, who hos very poor land, has iutormed toe that he
yt
is selling his crop of this NWheat at £8 per quarter, and he
has bad 11 quarters :o the acre. Mr. Abbot, of Loudham,
has sold my Wheat ar £8 per quarter; it was the best crop
io the neighbourhood. 50 bushels of this \Vheat will make
more money than 103 bushels of common Wheat. The best
seed is best fi, the .community, best for improvement, best
for the landiiod, best for, the tenant, best for the poor. It is
the greatest object to the Wheat grower 't is select the proper
Wheat fur Seed : the common sort is irninous. From 1
quarter of my Wheat Mr. Shield grew 410 bushels; Mr.
Mr. Hodson, from 2 bushels 13 quarters, 6 bushels; Mr.
Carisbrook, near Lincoln, had three labourers who had
pieces of ground all alike; one sowed my Wheat and bad as
much as the other two; this shows by little what men may
do. 1 have received an order from Windsor for ttlis Wheat
to seed the Queen's farm. The Yosksbire farmers pre-
sented me with a piece of plate for the benefit they received
from this new discovery. The gold medal in London has
been awarded me for the merit of the introduction of this
Wheat. A farmer can no mere fight his way now without
following the new-improved specimens than a soldier can
fight without arms. The thne I hope now is come for every
one to make every improvement and break down all preju-
dice, and not art us if they were in bondage. I know I mar
as well try to swallow all London), and drench it down with
the Thames, as to Atempt to turn some people. I hope to
see the Irish better provided for. I can hind thousands of
houses in Ireland in which for the last two months there has
not been a loaf of bread. I myself witnessed this distressing
fart.

Now for Sale, the Wellington Waterloo White Wheat
selected from the field of Waterloo a few Fears since : it has
always been set by hand. and thrashed upon a cloth in the
field, to prevent mixture of any kind. All other sorts of
Wheat may be hart of my agents.
I have also now on Sale, German Marrow-fat Tares WWI,
op elovers instead of rye-grass, as I consider rye-gr,ss a
cloak far twitch, and an enemy to Wheat. One of the
largest farmers in Norfolk, who has always been a large
grower, declares he will never sow rye-grass again. I should
be happy to give any gentleman my plan of sowing the
tares, as the system will improve the crop, the stock, and the
land. Ati letters post-paid.
