Timber and underwood.— The county is rather thin of timber, which may be imputed to the very great demand for it in the fens. The underwood is ſold at a higher price by the pole, conſidering the uſes to which it is applied, than in moſt other counties; and this Itake to be the natural con- ſequence of a ſmall ſtock of timber; for] believe it is a well founded maxim, that if woodlands are very full of timber, the underwood cannot be very profitable. Woods that Iam well acquainted with, have produced near 209. per acre per annum, as long as I can remember; whilſt the ad- joining fields, of as good, or a better quality, are let at an improved rent, of about 151. or 162. ber annum.
