CHALK LAND. Barley and wheat will succeed very well on the better sort of chalky land, and oats generally do well on any kind of it. The natural produce of this sort of land in weeds, is that sort of small vetch called the tine-tare, with poppies, may-weed, &c. Sainfoil and hope-clover will generally succeed tolerably well on these lands; and where they are of a better sort, the great clover will do. The best manure is dung, old rags, and the sheep dung left after folding them.
