OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. Ay Buck Wheat 1s scarce enough sown to be called a crop of this country. Itis found good food for pigs and poultry; and Mr. Wright, of Ranby, has found it useful for fodder for his team, but is tired of the system; as he has found it at length to be a hazardous crop, being subject to be much injured by slight summer frosts, which go near to destroy the crop, if they happen when the plant is in a particular state.The quantity he used to sow was six pecks an acre; average crop, from three to four quarters; but has been told of seven quarters, on rich soil.
