1@ AGRICULTURAL SURVEY

SECT. V.=-UPASES-

The greater part of the lands in this county are, i be-

lieve, let to tenants at will, who in general do not feel

themselves uneasy under their tenure, and frequently suc-

ceed to their farms from father to son for generations. Where there are leases, the covenants are the usual ones,- as to repairs, not cross-cropping,&c. without any special

provision that I am acquainted with.

SECT. VI.EXPENCE AND PROFIT.

The expence and profit depend so much on the par- ticular management of individuals, that I cannot pretend to enter into the subject. There is certainly room to make very fair profits on the farms in this county. Many for- tunes have been made by farming, and the rents of many estates considerably raised without complaint or injury to

the occupiers.
