Rye is seldom or never sown here, being too slow in coming to perfection ; so that the land, which must next receive the barley, would be too much exhausted. 4 May 21. After going to church at Natra I re- marked some cornfields, which the curate had caused to 154 THROUGH THE FIELDS WITH LINNAEUS be cultivated in a manner that appeared extraordinary to me. After the field has lain fallow three or four years it is sown with one part rye and two parts barley mixed together. The seed is sown in spr...ing, as soon as the earth is capable of tillage. The barley grows rank, ripens its ears, and is reaped. The rye meanwhile goes into leaf, but shoots up no stem, as the barley smothers it and retards its growth. After the latter is reaped the rye advances in growth, and ripens the year following without any further cultivation, the crop being very abundant. The inhabitants here also make broad thin cakes of bread. The flour used for this purpose commonly consists of one part of barley and three of chaff.
