butter, is a great deal more than it wee. hweet)n ppa is
ago. .• .
Do you think that these improvements are the ef-
fect altogether of the increased Capital employed in
agriculturel—Yes; and a ready market at a good
price...
Do yet think that in those farms where improve-
ments have not been made, and where the produce
consequently not one half, the deficiency is to be
ascribed under the new system of agriculture in many
eases, to want of capital ?—No ; I think it is to be
attributed to the obstinacy and negligence of the
farmer.
Do you think in no case it is from a twat of ca-
pital 1-1 think in Monmouthshire it is owing to the
want of capital ; the roads are very bad, it is ex-
pensive getting to the market, and it is also expensive
to get manure.
Do you think the improvements in agriculture
will stand still or fall back, if the inducement to
employ or increase the capital should be diminished ?
—lt would put a stop to the improvements unques-
tionably.
Then they would 'fall back of course?—Yes;
unless live stock and wool continue at the present
prices, including waggon and cart horses; they have
been au extremely profitable source.
What is your opinion respecting leases ?—We
iever grant any with us ; but of all the farms I hare
- valued, I have found those to be in the worst
of cultivation that have been upon the expiration
old leases.
Ton mean to apply yourself to Staffordshire ?
bat it is the same in every other place that I
bad occasion'. to go to ; restrictions might have
. made, but it is impossible to make restrictions
against neglect; I never knew more than one in&
stance to the contrary.
Do you not consider a lease to be a great induce.
mint to a farmer to proceed with spirit in making
improvements I—We never grant any ; and I have
en greater improvements made without leases, than
risers there were leases.
there not a kind of confidence on the part of
tenant, that he shell not be removed, or that he
I continue, without his rent being raised to a
certain period P—There is that confidence.
And it is a confidence that has been seldom dis-
appointed ?—lt has been seldom disappointed ; and
there is another thing, the tenant knows that the
landlord has a power over him, and therefore he
must manage the farm well, or quit it.
In the event in rsiskig the price of tillage' would
there not be a diminution in grazing land I—l think
; there would be much less money paid for hi-
r, but it would require money to stock the pas-
farm; bat less money 'would be turned monthly
grazing farm, than in a plough farm.
With respect to wares paidln Staffordshire, what
;our rule of allowance as it regards the poor rates;
a man has two children, do you allow him any
thing ?—No, eet.if they are able to work ; some
do without, if they have six children ; and some
'than that, because as the older children grow up,
become able to work.
ou have very few instances of labourers in foil
loy ment receiving parochial aid I—Not where
are In health.
'oti are not aware of any great landholder in your
of the world, having let his land at a lower cal-
ition than 10s. a bushel ?—I do not know it of
own knowledge.
there any alarm among the occupiers of land, in
consequence of an apprehension of the land being
_Aver ?—Yes ;—I have not been in that part of the
country, but I am told by a Gentleman from Hert-
fordshire, that his tenants have refused to settle with
iu consequence of the Corn Bill have been
Irown out; they snot to have their rents redutedt
he has promised them they shall.
Would the effect of such an alarm, if continued,
!outage improvements ?--Certainly.
Do you conceive it would also have the effect of
creating a difficulty in finding good tenants with suffi.
lt capitals I—Yes.
,f there was an expectation that the aierage would
at or near 101. a bushel, would not that alarm
cease 2—l am not certain.; I know there will be no
profit derived from it at tOs. ; I do not think upon
land the farmer could afford to grow his corn at

. • •
When yolk set the rent at 10s. does the fanner
take to the concern under an expectation that the
prices will be higher 2—Yes.
Founded opou what ?—Upon an increase in the
Coro crop, from an expectation that they may still
higher; and in making the calculation, I always
it epos the lowest scale.
Do you mean, that at 10s. the bushel, the profits
the fanner would be the average profit ?—Yes.
Aad that in taking the farm upon that calculation,
does it upon tbs.eapectatioa of getting a higher

pries 1-. TO be sure. -
Do yes know much strong land that has bean in.:
closed daring the last year I—Yea, a great deal.
Is that land pretty good pastor. land ? Some of it
,ry good.
Supposing it to be'neir, and desirable to keep that
under tillage, would it require a course of
,rs and good managemest to bring it back to they
same situation in which it was before?--With respect
the stiff land, it would be very difficult to get it
back into a state of pasturage.
s there much of that sort of laud ?—A great

In changing the cultivation of stiff land to grass
aid, is it your opinion that the grass of that land
increases iu value after the first year ?—That de.
pends upOn the success of the seeds red clover
toes not grow after the second whiter; in the second,
ird, or fourth year, the land is less valuable for
some years, till it has recovered the turf it had before
'ill#ge.
The gond pasture hied goes on increasing?—
Good pasture land, properly stocked, improves every
year.
What is the difference between the annual value
stiff wheat laud in a good inlede of cultivation,
and the same land in the third or Aourtb year after It
bum laid down to grass ?_There is very little
difference le the value of the rent; but the produce
the public must be infinitely more in its arable
tate ; I do sot thick there is'icatcelf *fly profit to
firmer in a stiff land farm, in the goings of OW)
nless the price is high.
